As some of you may know, we've done everything we can think of to try to help Mary Katherine sleep better--both naps and nighttime. About two or three months ago someone had suggested to me "white noise". Well it just so happened we had an obnoxiously loud fan in the garage. This fan had traveled with Roger from Tennessee about ten years ago to Stillwater. While in Stillwater the switch broke. So Roger--being the handy-man that he is--replaced the switch with a two way. So the fan now has two speeds-low and very high. I acquired joint ownership of this fan when we married. This fan was used in Stillwater to cool off our dog Montana in the garage. In Georgia, it sat unused and up until now the same here. After about 3 years of sitting in the garage, we have worn the tar out of this fan. It has traveled to several hotels, other houses, and anywhere we venture. We did get looks and comments, but I didn't care.
A week ago, I decided I was tired of lugging the thing around and more importantly I started to worry a little about the high air movement in the room as poor MK was waking up in the night with a stuffed nose. So I went to Wal-Mart in search of a cheap sound machine--and I found it. $19.99 and so far it has worked great. It's very small, blocks out noise, and can run on battery as well. You may wonder about the gray tape?? That is to block out the large green light.
Yes, the Teal family is moving up in the world with this advancement in technology. And best of all, if we come visit you, you don't have to see/hear the big ugly fan as well.

I love that noise machine...I may need to go find one. We always got lots of looks when we lugged our dusty nasty fan through hotels, but they just don't make fans noisy anymore!
MK is adorable and I love the thumb sucking!!!
Love the fan story! I am cracking up. That is great that there are families so close by with babies MK's age...you guys will have so much fun!
