I've never been around a newborn, needless to say, as much as I've been around Faith. When Faith was first born, she came out of my tummy all calm, just looking at the world around her. She was quiet while they cleaned her up and pretty easy going in the hospital unless she had a dirty diaper. I was sure I had an easy going baby and boy was I thankful! Well, let me tell you...I was wrong! The last few weeks this baby girl has been the biggest fuss-bucket around! If she isn't eating or sleeping, she's crying! Alan and I can barely get anything done because we spend so much time trying to console her.
On Sunday, I needed to blow dry my hair and I was carrying Faith around. I use a sound machine with her, but it doesn't really seem to do much, but I thought I'd see if she liked the sound of the blowdryer while I used it on my damp hair. I placed her in her seat and turned it on and WA-LA, she was instantly quiet! I got my hair dried, curled and make-up put on! I felt human again!
I told Alan of my new found cure for Faith's screaming, I think he thought..."whatever". Well on Monday I needed to run a couple of errands and left Alan with Faith. When I came home, I found Faith asleep in her swing with the blowdryer on full blast while Alan sat next to her eating a hamburger! Now we both run for the blowdryer when we can't console her. We have one upstairs and one downstairs! I wish I would have tried this a couple of weeks ago!

That's the funniest thing I've seen in a while! But hey if it works....
You'll have to record the hairdryer and buy lots of batteries.
That's awesome! I think we used the blow dryer for Cannon a couple of times and he also liked the fan in the bathroom. Now I just make Ryan sing to him. Faith is so cute in her bath. I love that pouty lip!
Hilarious!!!! You better have a backup in case that one kicks the bucket!!
