Daddy recently learned a new word - colicky.
Colicky - "suffering from excessive gas in the alimentary canal".
It comes from the root word 'Colic' - "Severe abdominal pain caused by spasm, obstruction, or distention of any of the hollow viscera, such as the intestines. Often a condition of early infancy, colic is marked by chronic irritability and crying."
Watch me get C-O-L-I-C-K-Y!
Colicky scale = 0 - I am calm baby.
Colicky scale = 2 - Colicky gets into first gear. Stop staring. There's rumbling in my tum.
Colicky scale = 6 - Don't just sit there. My tummy is NOT fine. I need love and attention. Quick!
Colicky Scale = 10 - The point of No Return! Told you so....Definitions from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/ - with thanks.
