The newest item in baby fashion is...


...baby straitjackets! We have discovered what a wonderful item the SwaddleMe blanket is. I put her in it the other night on a whim when she was crying and voila! The crying stopped! She also has taken an affinity to having daddy put her to sleep - mama just doesn't cut it anymore. I think it's because she associates me with eating/comfort feeding and knows daddy doesn't have productive boobs :-)

Roo has been grabbing her toys and batting them around in the last few days - apparently this is really early (8 weeks this past Thursday) but she didn't get the memo. She will sit and stare and study and play with her "babies" for 20-30 minutes plus - it's pretty insane to see a baby that focused and intense. We are really going to have to watch it with her - I have a feeling she is going to take after her daddy. Thursday's child *does* have far to go after all!

When Joe was somewhere around 18 months old, he had a set of baby tools to play with. No harm right? He decided to escape from naptime one day by taking apart his crib with those tools. Yes, he is now an engineer! He also works on cars, so I guess those mechanical skills come in handy!
