rinse and repeat

Having a small baby around is an interesting thing. You'd think there would be a science to figuring out why a baby is fussing. 'Oh, it's such-and-such o'clock, so she must be hungry.' Unfortunately, it's turning out to be an art instead of a science. (And I thought feedings would be every three hours on the dot. roflcopter!)

Conveniently, when we reach the bottom of the list of things that could be causing Caroline distress, enough time has passed to potentially make the first thing on the list relevant again. Observe:

1. Hungry
   
2. Dirty diaper
   
3. Gas
   
4. Overly tired
   
5. Bored

Even though the list is short, the amount of time it can take to check each possibility easily puts the total time at over an hour, at which point she could very well be hungry again.

Hence my losing track of days.
