It could be their breast pump, their nipple cream, their vicodin, the swing, the bouncy seat, or even perhaps their mother in law.
For Eloise, it was my nightly 1 hour walk, alone, in the cold, dark air after spending all day listening to her scream. Thank you Jed for bouncing her for that one hour so I could go scream at the stars for awhile and regain my composure until bedtime.
For Esther. Well, hmmm. Well Esther just sat in her bouncy seat 12 hours per day smiling. No arsenal, no lifesavers. She totally set me up for failure with number 3. Those easy babies are sneaky like that...making you alll confident in your parenting abilities and thinking that all babies are easy.
I will put Astrid between the 2 - pretty easy and mellow, but only likes ME(well, and Kristi for some reason) and screams really, really, really loudly if she is pissed..and is very hard to console. Her highness also would prefer to be held 24 hours per day thankyouverymuch.
My lifesaver with Astrid - the Baby K'tan Carrier.
Holy mother of all inventions - LOVE THIS THING. Love it!!!
I had a sling and a carrier with both older girls as babies and really kind of hated them. I feel like I tried them all and was let down for one reason or another...and I really like to wear my kids.
This thing has it all - easy on the back, easy to use, comfy and soft natural jersey knit cotton - throw it in the wash and dry it. Perfect for newborns through preschoolers - cradle carry, front carry, back carry, hip carry - omg it is orgasmic.
I have Astrid in here most of the day and she just snoozes and nurses. I bought it mainly because she comes with me to every Matilda Jane show that I do- as she nurses exclusively and well, I cannot leave her, and I need to be hands free. She sleeps through every show and is content as can be.
xoxo, t

Is THAT the cutest picture ever? I do adore that little munchkin, and will hold her wherever and whenever I can.
What a cutie patootie! Today's photo along w/ yesterdays... I really see Esther... her eyes & nose... Wow... Post a picture of your other girls as babies... I missed a lot of years in there...
I got my Finn skirt... I love it... Thank You again my dear friend... I'll post pictures soon!
I've also scheduled my MJC show... I'll keep you posted as to how it turns out... Nicole H from Greenwood is hooking me up... She says she knows you ... I wish you lived closer... Hopin' for a great show!
You are amazing! This carrier looks fantastic, I think I will add it to my wish list! It looks so versatile. I have a couple of sling carriers, but they for some reason haven't been as comfortable with this baby...thanks for the great product tip!
My baby #3 is exactly the same way!! #1 -- by far the toughest; #2 -- def the easiest, #3 -- somewhere in the middle! she's great when she's fed and napped, but whoa, when she's mad, she's mad and the only one to really console her is ME! I thought 3rd babies were just supposed to adapt to our lives, lol...I thought they just chilled in the pumpkin seat with a front row view of the craziness around -- and that they were happy to do it, that they knew their place and it worked...well...not MY 3rd, no way! She has totally rocked our world ;)
I really get a kick out of reading you. "Holy mother of all inventions" and "I really like to WEAR my kids" just made me smile. It is really orgasmic?? Your posts often make my day very much more pleasant. Thank you. :o)
