As for some things we have learned with Elijah...<BR/>1. Find the video of "The Happiest Baby on the Block" The techniques he used really work and it saved us from having a cryer. Johnny was a pro!<BR/>2. Staying at home and having a parent here has been worth every sacrifice we have had to make.<BR/>3. Start learning sign language so that you can teach your little girl to communicate early. Elijah already has about 60 signs under his belt and is talking a lot. The best part is we actually understand him. I am amazed at how smart kids are if we give them the tools.<BR/><BR/>Well, if I think of more, I will let you know. I am excited about you guys coming back to CA. Look forward to seeing you again soon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03390684135351579968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953707038767467503.post-6240506211015745352007-02-18T15:53:00.000-07:002007-02-18T15:53:00.000-07:00Advice, huh?

And it looks like nobody dares to jump in and give you an answer. ;-) But I can't leave you with 'nothing'! So here goes:<BR/><BR/>1. Breastfeed if you can (for Kristin, of course).<BR/>2. (For K again) Be a stay-at-home mom... don't let some daycare raise your precious daughter and get to see many of her 'firsts' before you do.<BR/>3. (For Brandon) Help Kristin as much as possible.<BR/>4. (For B again) Spend as much time with your daughter as possible. Bonding with Daddy is soooo important! (This lasts for at least 18 years.)<BR/>5. (For both) Stock up on sleep now, 'cause once she arrives, you won't see a good night's sleep again in a loooong time! ;-)<BR/>6. (For both) Next time you need advice, ask for something more specific. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps,<BR/>Grandmum now<BR/><BR/>P.S. (One more for Brandon) Daddies CAN do diapers.... learn how ASAP! ;-)Grandma Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260178906088230163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7953707038767467503.post-44887517369136683002007-02-14T14:37:00.000-07:002007-02-14T14:37:00.000-07:00Happy Valentine's Day Crouch family!

Just think, now you won't have to be like the Dipsmell clan and have 3 boys before you get to the girl. I'm sure she is going to be super-cute. I just hope she doesn't get B's afro and copius amounts of chest hair.corey christensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14855891695707483841noreply@blogger.com
