Thank God I'm a Country Boy...

I've been having computer problems lately and that's why I haven't been updating.  I feel lost without Homestead Blogger!!  :)  Well, for the moment my computer's up and running so I'll take this opportunity to update.
 
My father's back is doing much better, thank God.  He missed a week of work, which isn't good, but he had no choice.  I've been watching Baby Lilly now that my sister has gone back to work.  Things go pretty smoothly, I just wish I knew how to calm her down when she really starts crying.  I mean, she's good for the most part, but at times she is just whaling so loudly that the poor little dear is getting hoarse!  At first I thought it was something I was doing wrong, but then I noticed that she also cries like that for my mother and for my grandmother.  Oh well, I guess I'll just go with the flow and learn the techniques over time.  :)  I do check her diaper and feed her, then cuddle and console her, but to no avail. My chickens are doing good.  I have a runt in the flock though and her name is Maggie.  I can tell her apart because she's the only one that's afraid to go down the ramp to the ground.  And, I can always tell her egg (when she actually lays one) because it's a lighter color and the shell is rough.  I had to help move T's dad into his new apartment.  Boy is it ever nice.  It was alot of work moving a 300lb television set.  Well, I don't have to watch Lilly today, but I do have to go out and check on the chickens.  So I better be going....
 
Blessings,
Jason

Congratulations Jason, on being the blogger of the week. I am glad your dad is feeling better there is nothing worse than being laid up with a bad back. Oh here is a hint, when the baby gets really crying, try a walk in the stroller. It just may help.

Way to Go!

try using a baby sling/wrap... It calms down babies like nothing, to be so close to their caregivers. Try to find a sling that keeps her facing you. My favorite is a Storchenwiege, but those are kind of expensive. Here's a great link to talk about different wraps:
http://childrensneeds.com/baby_sling_research.html
the best slings/wraps allow you to go about your daily chores and she gets to just be close and watch what you are doing and go to sleep if she wants. hope things get better for you, and her.

congrats on winning.
