Go Hawkeyes! Ashley, you are a terrific mother and the only thing about nipple shields is what you know - they are messay and a hassle and you don't really get to feel the baby nursing. That is just so strange how Ali figured it out now, but she also has learned to get her hands in her mouth the first time and I think it's allowed her to suck as much as she wants, which seems to be all the time! She reminds me of the sweetpea cartoon character who sucks her paficier all the time. My guess is that once she is able to move about on her own accord, she be doing less sucking and more pulling books off of book shelves, which is what she probably has on her mind right now. Good luck with the sore nipples, but they'll toughen up in a while. Hang in there. P.S. I don't believe how good that you got me! I love the photo of Tony and Ali watching Iowa vs. Penn State!
