More about Nicole...

Okay, it's still early so I have a little more time to type. Nicole doesn't sleep well at night in her crib. It's been tough. Finally, we found the magical key called a stroller (some of you already know this). For four nights in a row now, we've let Nicole sleep in her stroller (yes, it reclines) and she has slept beautifully! She will only wake up 2-4 times and briefly at that. It's been great. We're finally catching up on some much needed rest. I hope that soon, we'll be able to move her back to her crib so she can get used to that.

Another cute thing about Nicole is how she loves to suck on tags and/or the silky part of her blanket. I understand the blanket part but when she sees a tag (like on a stuffed animal or a tag on a shirt), in her mouth it goes. It's really adorable. So soothing for her too.

Our little girl is quite the chatter box. I love to listen to her talk up a storm (baby talk). It's music to my ears.


She had her first physical yesterday since we've been back home. She did great! A thousand times better than her physical in Guangzhou. She's gotten a clean bill of health! Yeah!

Our baby is getting her first teeth too! We can feel them coming through. Slow down Nicole, don't grow up so fast!

My son (now age 17) was a "tag" baby too! He loved the tags on the stuffed animals. He just loved the silky feel. Try Nicole with something satin (like an old sleepshirt of yours) and see what she thinks of that.

Congrats on the good night's sleep! :)

If Nicole likes tags you should look for a Taggie for her. It's a blanket with tags of various fabrics and textures all around the outside. Maybe it would help with the sleeping, too! Check out www.taggies.com (and, no, I'm not affiliated with them! LOL!).
