Timing

Chloe had another weight check on Monday. She was up 3 ounces over the weekend. So, she's not quite back up to her birth weight, but headed in the right direction. She was 7 pounds 9 ounces. So, now I'm pumping to figure out how much milk I'm producing and still supplementing with formula, as needed. She seems to really like the bottle, but I guess it is to be expected as most babies do - it's easier to eat. I think even though I'm making enough milk, she isn't getting all if it when she breast feeds. We go back tomorrow for another check and to see if she still is packing on the lbs (okay, ounces). I guess it would be good and she would be back on track if she would gain about an ounce a day.

Rob and I wanted to get out of the house - and we were doing really well. We had Chloe fed and changed, I was able to shower and everything. We went out to eat made a Target run. Things were going fine, but I guess I miss judged when she would be hungry again, because she starting crying very hard at Target. Good thing I brought a bottle with us - I was able to feed her in her car seat on the way home and all was right with the world! I'm sure the diaper blow out also helped her feel better. Here is the cute outfit we put her in post-Target blowout.


And an adorable onsie that her dad really appreciates! (Doesn't she look long and skinny?!)

Chloe was holding Rob's finger and had a really good grip on it... well he had to go make us something to eat - so he called in a sub. She held this bottle for quite sometime. How cute!
