I have never met a baby or child that didn't like to swing...until Daniel. Today, I put him in the swing when he fell asleep in the sling, and he slept for a whopping 30 minutes! I found a loophole to the non-swinger!

Invaluable!
As new parents, we have found the following things helpful as we start life with the new little one who apparently is suffering from acid reflux:
We now understand the usefullness of a pacifier
The Happiest Baby on the Block by Harvey Karp-- We are becoming pros at maintaining 4 of the 5 S's to calm Daniel during the witching hour.
AR has added rice starch and has helped control spit up tremendously!
"Cooling him off" with the hairdryer on the warm setting is a trick that works every time we are past the point of trying rational things.
Coffee--need I say more? (for us--not Daniel)
And the tee-tee tee-pee helps with diaper changes, but not necessarily fussiness. This is actually marketed as the "wee-blocker" and has prevented some wee wee disasters!
Any and all tips are appreciated!

A Couple of Firsts
First bath
Daniel had his first bath on New Year's Day. He really liked it, and was so calm during the process. As soon as he was dried off --he immediately fell asleep.
First good hair day
Sunday January 3, Daniel blessed us with many smiles. Here is a picture of one of them--we hope to post many more in the future.
