So if you have a baby that just won't stop crying, I've got a solution for you. Well, at least it works for us and other parents i've heard. THE VACCUUM CLEANER!
Abigail and I read in a book one day that the vaccuum cleaner is a great way to soothe a child. It sounds like a silly idea, but don't knock it till ya try! We even have a movie of Colin when he has been crying for 5 minutes straight; we turn on the vaccuum cleaner, he sniffles a bit, then falls right asleep!!! Its a hilarious video.
So now, every once in a while, Abigail will come down the stairs with a big grin on her face. "yes, he's asleep... the vaccuum cleaner works again!!!" It really sounds odd, but it supposevly reminds them of when they were in the womb. So when all else fails... turn on that noisy soothe machine called the vaccuum cleaner!!!

You should get a little noise maker radio thing... ones that have 'white noise' and ocean sounds and the rain forest. Come to think of it, maybe a radio would do just fine if it's tuned to static?
Susanna had done really well with one!
See you guys soon at 'Meet Colin Day'!
Congratulations, you guys! ~Leah and Ryan
