The fuzzy thing in Sarah crib (see below) is a sheepskin, a traditional New Zealand baby gift. It is cool in the summer and warm in the winter, helps soothe fussy babies, etc... Kyle's parents got us this while vacationing 'down under' this time last year. Sarah has slept on it since she arrived.
Coincidentally, I was given one as a baby also. A family friend heard of my colickiness and sent it to my parents. It turned out to do the trick! Since then, my Mom has lent it to other babies who's parents were very thankful. Needless to say, I knew exactly what it was when we got it and were thrilled.
