Erica is such a good baby! We love how she sleeps- with her hands literally raised up off the bed reaching for the sky. How she manages to sleep like this remains a mystery!! It is in debate whether she is reaching out for a hug in snoozeland, reaching for heaven, or something completely different!!! Being our 5th kid, we didn't expect too many surprises...however Erica has been quite her own little lady, with several unique characterists and nemesis' that we have had to figure out. We have never had a kid that needed to burp after each feeding...sure the other kids had an occasional burp here and there but nothing like Erica...this girl NEEDS to burp after each and every feeding...if she doesn't get it up...oh heaven help the person that is holding her...it is like a beast has over came her...she fights and fights until than manly belch comes out! We can't believe some of the noises that come from this little woman - little body, big noises!! The next unique characteristic that has surprised us is Erica's boogers. She gets them a lot and boy does she hate them!!! Granted she isn't very happy when Laura shoots saline drops up her nose and then uses the aspirator to suck those babies out - but the instant look of relief on her face once those boogers are gone - is almost audible! You can read it on her face, "Oh...thanks Mom. Much better now" The crying instantly stops and there is an audible sigh of relief. So..there ya go..Erica's archenemies...BOOGERS and BURPS! We are all glad we got those figured out! Ready for the next curve ball!
