Well I will be the first to say, No! Bren is not an easy baby. He is a classic high needs fussy baby. He wakes up 2-3 times a night, sometimes more, and never can settle him self back down, never has. He is not a baby you can lay down and will go to sleep. He loves to be held, and if he is not in the mood to be on his own playing and I do set him down, he just cries till I pick him up. But having said that, he is a super happy baby and spend much of his time smiling and laughing. People always comment on what a happy baby he is when we are out. Though he is a pain in the ass he is MY pain in the ass and I wouldn't change him for the world. He is going to be such an adventure.
