We are still having issues with jet lag. Actually, Perrin has adjusted and Neal never needed any adjustment, so it is just Lulu and I having problems. She is waking up in the middle of the night ready to party - clapping her hands and laughing if I hold her, screaming at the top of her lungs if I don't. My latest strategy is to spend time with her, but to keep the lights low and to be as boring as possible. Which sounds good in theory, but the reality is it means I pat her back for two hours while staring in to space and fuming -- I know I am lucky to be able to pat the back of my new daughter, but at 2am I start to lose sight of the big picture. My remedy has been to wear the Zune and listen to comediennes while patting. I hide the Zune in my pajamas and we all win as long as I don't laugh out loud. I suppose it is not the most nuturing, but it works for us. And, hopefully this will end soon.
The rage in China is squeaky shoes for kids. I bought several pairs for Lulu and finally got her to wear them this morning. The squeaky shoes are kind of annoying and they make Apple crazy, but they make us laugh and Lulu is pretty fun to watch. You can see her squeaking here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz5ZBdBkOzg
