    What? My wound up 5 year old spazzing out all over your house last night wasn’t soothing?

    One of those things that you have to learn on your own. Each baby is their own specific nervous system and some go with the flow and others cannot bear to be held by one more friendly face. Perhaps you can let your friends and family know when visiting times work best-after a nap,am or pm,etc. Since it is now ‘Flu Season’-you have an official excuse to become particular and remember that this is your baby and you all have to learn to live together for about the next 18 or so years.
    I remember just wanting to stand up and shout for everyone to go home and take their oversized furry animals and plastic rattles with them! Never did but was so tempted!!

    I came across the same problem when there were a few holidays that came up shortly after my son was born (mothers day, easter). He would get passed around and would be inconsolable. So I had to set the rule that only 1 or 2 people could hold him and that was after waiting a certain lenght of time inbetween. We got dirty looks but they weren’t the one who had to console him or try and get him down for a nap when he was miserable. He’s 6 months old now and loves to visit and be held by everyone but still gets upset when we are some place different that’s very noisy.

    Kelly – Your visit was just fine! I hope you don’t think this post was directed at you; it doesn’t matter who the guest is or how quiet and relaxed they are it is still something new and a lot for a 2 week old to take in. You are welcome back any time!

  5. Hey, does this mean I can’t have the next Blogger/Reader Mixer tonight at your house? Because I’m not confident I can notify all 600 registered attendees in time.

    Good luck!

    This was the one where everyone was bringing a dish to pass, right? If that’s the case, we’re still good for tonight.

    Seriously, when is the next meet up? I’d like to go.
