It's 5:00 somewhere..

So here is my problem.. Anywhere between 5:00 and 6:00 PM my household falls apart. Let me explain.. Ava Reese is normally a very good baby. During the day, she rarely gives me any trouble. She sleeps, then she eats, then she poops, and on and on.. However, starting about 5:00, she turns into a different baby. There is nothing we can do to pacify her. She cries, then she falls asleep for about 15 minutes, then she cries, eats, falls asleep for 15 minutes. It is so aggravating. Her problem is she is so ROTTEN. When she awake, she expects to be held, rocked, and bounced and if she isn't then she is not satisfied. Well we have found a position she likes. She has been laying here for over an hour and hasn't made a peep. She just smiles, and then falls asleep for a minute, and is just so content. YAY!!

I hope Ava Reese is starting to feel better so that she can be a happy girl all the time. Hang in there Momma she'll get better. I really can't wait to see y'all again. Hopefully that will be soon. Love you!

Awe, I feel your pain! Kadence was the best baby I could ever ask for after we got home from our long stay in the hospital but every evening we got the same thing! Kristin is right though, check this out and see if it might help http://moxie.blogs.com/askmoxie/2006/10/qa_the_witching.html
Also you might try some colic remedies because some people describe it as, the same symptoms! Unfortunately very few things worked for us other than just soothing and spending the time with her until the ordeal would pass! Oh and you will probably read about putting her in her punkin seat and sitting her on the dryer while it's running and that did work for us on many occasions.... Good Luck!

Looks like you're already getting plenty of good advice, so I'm just going to go ahead and state the obvious... She was content because of the Bama shirt she was wearing!!
