I'm an uncle again!

The #1 gifts for new parents is the miracle blanket and the DVD "The happiest baby on the block." The miracle blanket is a swaddler that looks like this.



This amazing baby burrito maker in conjunction with the video helped us calm Carolyn during those first few months. I sent it to my sister-in-law to help with little Kellin who was born 3 weeks ago. She said it was so helpful she cried. Do you hear that? That's the sound of me patting myself on the back.

Nicknames

Carolyn has numerous nicknames, one of which doesn't make any sense, but it might after I explain how it came to be. Carolyn and I were sitting in the basement watching this super tall wiry Russian guy named Andrei Kirilenko play for the Utah Jazz.


So I started calling Carolyn "Carolinko." This has morphed into "Linko," "Linkage," and "Linkasaraus Rex." I challenge parents of the blog-o-sphere to comment on their most ridiculous nicknames.
