Tears of a Baby

Last week Julianna's tear ducts started producing and excreting tears so the phrase "Big Tears" now has true meaning as when she is very upset (which never happens right?) she will shed a tear or two. The phrase "Big Tears" for me dates back to when my sisters Kelly and Abigail were young and meant that it wasn't a tantrum or attention cry but a real cry of pain or desperation usually for food, sleep, or both. In mama and papa's defense we need a second set of arms and hands so that we can hold her AND make her a bottle when it's just one of us as Jaybird can get a bit tetchy when it is feeding or sleep time. Soon or just a minute is never quick enough. And though I usually like posting pictures, we don't have pictures of jaybird crying. 🙂
