Pics are awesome... he looks like trouble already - no doubt where he got that from! My boy was similar - constant work to feed or get to sleep, many late nights and long days. Then he stood up around 4 months and starting walking @ 7 mo... No rest for the weary... 5 years later he runs me ragged but is an awesome side kick. Last week out of the blue he said, "dad, watch this" and launched into a perfect back flip....  too much Ninja Warrior on the DVR for him I guess.
Daughter was the opposite... never a worry with her, easy to sleep and feed and at three she calls me "partner" and is my fearless helper in all my chores around the property. I know you've heard it a million times, but enjoy these next few months, as crazy as they are... your kid will be doing back flips before you know it too. Good job Dad. |

Honestly, the first 6 weeks have been very tough to enjoy. More stiff upper lip and laugh instead of cry. It's been good the last few days and we are now trying to enjoy the moments. He is already growing soooo damn fast. TRG |

I know that pain. My son was the exact same way. He'd sleep 2-4 hours straight at any given time. For 11 months.
My best advice is to try and work it in shifts. I'd "work" the first half of the night, and then my wife would get the second half just so we could have some set amount of sleep (even though his crying would still wake us). If you get as sleep deprived as me, you'll get frustrated, so my other advice would be to just walk away if you get frustrated. When they're already crying and not going to sleep, it doesn't hurt to set them down for a bit and clear your head. Give it time.

I've been promising that I would add some Garden pics, here is the coop and run I built in the Fall. I give a shout-out to Brad for telling me about making a 'grazing area' that the hens could use without eating the grass to the roots. It is filled with oats and it works perfectly yo supply Vitamins when everything else in the coop is bare.
I will be adding more in the Spring. 
some garlic (re-grown from last spring's leftovers, onions, radishes, carrots, not much really happening with overnight temps in the low 30s and highs sometimes only in the 50s.

I would design some more beside them, so you can put your garden under cover to keep the birds out. Then when the garden is finished you could open a gate to allow the chickens to glean the remnants.

Had some tings to post today...
First up .. 'just dis guy, you know?' ... 
The pullets, and two older Game hens have begun to lay eggs. I think this is 3 day's worth of eggs. 
For those following my chainsaw blade problems... I've cut two trailers full of wood with the new sprocket. Appears to have solved the issue with a loose chain. This was the chain's tension after cutting today. 
Yes, the saw really is 20+ years old...first sprocket replacement. Original clutch, no shit. 
It cut this elm: 
These two sweet gums: 
Cut these sections: 
Started this spark-fire: 
These logs: 
All with the tension still the same as the first pic. I bought a new maul.. and holy shit .. it'sa nice...Seriously, this took less than 10 minutes, and barely broke a sweat: 
My wood/fence wagon is 14' long. It hauls a solid cord of wood. I came through a creek crossing and decided to try a new path. Dropped in to a hole, wedged the tire under roots, and had to admit defeat. It was left to a decision...unload the trailer, leer it up. Pull forward. Reload wagon....or ... swallow my pride and ask a neighbor to bring his FEL over to lift it up and allow me to pull forward... I called the neighbor.

How are things going with the little goat? Last week he started some unexplained crying and fussing while eating. Spent a solid hour screaming at the top of his lungs. No fever, called doc. After some liquid Tylenol he slept. Took him in for a doc appointment and he was vet checked sound. Still above average for weight and height. All exams passed. Might've been teething? Still don't know. Since then he's been doing great. 
He is getting in a bad habit of searching the EE for local deals though. His first HK 416.
