Amen to the list. I'm a friend of Julie W. My girl was born on December 29 and she's got that same checklist except she doesn't have a sister but she does have wicked bad silent reflux.
LOL! very cute!
hang in there, jane!

Yeah, I used to wish that my girls could tell me what was wrong so I could fix it. Now that they're teenagers, I sometimes wish we could go back to the days when I had no idea, but I could hold them and rhythmically pat their diaper padded bottoms to get them to calm down.
This is pure genius.. loved it.
sign them up for yoga.
maybe chamomile tea for baby reflux? (apparently the Greeks are much in favor of this remedy before they switch over to retsina)
Pretty soon they can lie in the backyard and stare at clouds, birds, airplanes, etc.
Make Dad play them songs.
Pour a glass of wine, or two...
Plan a date for April Fool's and i'll babysit. REALLY!!
