So the majority of my posts will most likely be about Addison or whatever crazy thoughts are running through my mind at the time. Sorry Amarah! You just don't do a whole lot right now. However, I thought I would take this post to introduce everyone to our best friend, The Miracle Blanket. We discovered this marvelous contraption when Addison was a couple months old. Being the difficult baby that he was (that's another post), we were looking for anything to help him sleep better at night. Laying him down in his crib when he was completely asleep without waking him was something we referred to as the Olympic dismount.
Fast forward 2 1/2 years and we decided this little lifesaver was worth shelling out the $30 again to have for Amarah, seeing as how we misplaced our last one not to mention it was blue and I can't swaddle my baby girl in blue! That's unheard of!
Once again, this fancy schmancy piece of fabric has blessed us with many hours of uninterrupted sleep at night. Unfortunately, baby Houdini has now figured out how to free herself from the straight jacket, but we will press on and continue to use it until she either outgrows the darn thing (which is getting pretty darn close) or she learns how to fall asleep without startling herself awake every 15 minutes. Tried it last night, didn't happen!
Here's our little burrito!
I think she has a future as a member of KISS!

how terribly cute! We had a couple (not sure what brand they are, but they were from target), and they were yellow, we registered for everything neutral, but I digress. Anyway, our monster learned to get her arms out right away. For a while, dad would tuck them in, mom would tuck them out. Eventually she outgrew them, and we nearly always put her in bed half asleep or awake, and let her fall asleep on her own. Right now we roll and tuck (so that the blanket is pinned underneath on both sides) and she never seems to get it off. We don't pin her arms so she can't pull it over her head. At least not yet.
ps i dont know what type of diapers you use, but walmart.com if you type in free samples and look around there a little bit, you can get a $1.50 coupon by mail for pampers. Also diapers.com does a special on ordering 'cases' of diapers which are bigger than the ones at walmart (talking 200/box), you get free shipping if you order over a certain amount, and you get $10 off your first order if you use a certain code, or a friends code. we have a code if you're interested.
Wow, these are good! You have been hiding your talents. The pictures are great. They are both getting so big. See you soon, mimi n
What a cutie!!
