More lessons learned

1. Forget all prior lessons except the one about colic. I haven't learned a thing except that this kid cries.
2. The crying is tough to take. If it weren't for having Tina's mom around, we'd be in trouble.
   
3. Elizabeth is stubborn -- clearly way more stubborn than Tina. But I think I can outlast her. Tina has the softness and tiredness of a new mother. I have neither, and the soft-heartedness of a father for his daughter hasn't come in yet because the child is just so dang stubborn and loud.
4. There is no way on earth that Darwin was right. If we'd have come down from the trees with babies like Elizabeth, one of two things would've happened. Either noisy, fussy, gassy, inconsolable babies would have been selected against on the African savannah in about 15 minutes, or the entire human race would've been wiped out in about 15 months. Neither happened, ergo Darwin was wrong.
