Crater Ranch scientists, after an exhausting four month study, have confirmed the long-held belief that two parents, plus baby, makes three. The tally was complicated by the constant demand for play, naps, bottles, and drool cleanup. And then there were the baby's needs. Although the four months of late-night feedings, crying fits, and diaper containment breaches took their toll, the two parents also acknowledged that, "It could have been worse."Keiran Frederick Ferguson is generally, and so far, a very happy, satisfied baby. He doesn't have extended crying fits, at least nothing that a bottle, a funny face, or a bounce on the yoga ball can't remedy. He smiles very easily, especially for his parents, and he eats extremely well. He has even started to grab and hold the bottle himself, although nipple placement still needs improvement (babies have trouble discerning mouths from eyes, nostrils, etc.). At the time of this report the baby's first teeth were coming in, and was soon to begin small amounts of solid food (if wet, soggy rice cereal can be considered solid).
Some of his favorite things so far include going outside in the stroller, playing with the stuffed polar bear, kicking, and shoving both hands into his mouth.
