Joel,

Congrats on the arrival of your second daughter, Helena. Beautiful name. Beautiful little girl you got there.

I wish swaddling would do the trick. In the hospital, Nora loved to be swaddled. The instant we got her home? Hates it. So far the trick seems to be using a finger as a pacifier.

Kind of crazy that our daughters will have birthdays back-to-back, huh?

Congrats buddy. Helena beat Nora by less than a day. 10/28 at 5:28. And you’re definitely right in all your “Things I’ve already learned.” My favorite tip though? Swaddling is your best friend. Get her ‘really’ liking being wrapped up Chipotle style and you’ll always have an ace in the hole for when she’s wailing relentlessly.

And she’s got some pretty serious hair going there. Good work man.

Jon:

Thanks for the congrats. We’re going to try to transition Nora to the crib in a month or two, but right now (as you know), it’s survival mode so whatever works, right?

Scott and Lauren,
She looks like she’s doing great, and you two sound like you’re doing great too. I know what you mean about the bassinet – our daughter wouldn’t sleep in her crib until she was 6 months old.
Kids are amazing – every day is a new adventure with them.
Congrats again to you both!
