My favorite $15 purchase

For weeks we have been trying to find other ways of calming Noah down during his crying spells.  Usually the only thing that works is walking around holding him in our arms and bouncing him.  

My mom's work out instructor told her that her two boys were just like Noah (bad reflux, had to be held/bounced 24/7, crying, etc) and suggested getting an exercise ball to bounce him on when he is fussy (which is the majority of the day!).  I was skeptical since every trick people have suggested to us has not worked with him (example: rice cereal in the bottle to keep the reflux down and help him sleep longer. BIG FAIL: made reflux worse and Noah slept for a grand total of 20 minutes each time!) but am now so thankful for the exercise ball idea!  I bought two; one for our house and one for my parents since I'm there so often.  Noah loves it and is quiet the whole time we bounce him!
