Colic? Gas? just plain unhappy?

My sweet baby boy has become more fussy over the past few days and i'm not sure why. I've cut out dairy and already don't eat wheat. I've started a food journal too, just to see if what I east upsets him. But it seems to be mostly in the evening, so is he just tired? Without Jim being here to hold him, I'm starting to wear down. This morning he smiled and made a laughing sound at the same time, and somehow it makes everything ok.

but seriously, the crying....I just don't know what to do.

Ol did this too, it was so hard hard. We called it "being in the shit". We played the vacuum mp3 file a lot for a while and that seemed to help. I really think it's their brains trying to handle all of the stimulation. Sometimes just taking Ol for a walk out side really helped, but I couldn't do that every night and you have 2 so that's really hard to pull together. From what I understand about colic, it tends to happen in the evening, about the same time. Does he like a warm bath? Don't stress about the diet thing, because that will wear you out! I know it's hard to hear now while you are in it, but he will grow out of this phase quickly, and while you are here, I'd love to help! I know it would be nice to have Jim around, that has to be so hard. You're doing a good job mama, and it will pass, just don't stress about you're diet, it's just what some babies do, for some ungodly reason! Call me if you need to talk or cry, or whatever!
