Figuring out the formula

We have been impressed with Chloe's sleeping over the last week or so. She has been falling asleep around 6:30 or so at night and sleeping until about 11, waking up to eat and falling asleep right away. Then, the next two feeding are at about 3 to 4 1/2 hours intervals. It's worked for us pretty well, and I'm thinking that once I go back to work it will work for us to start our day with 5-6 ish wake up call. I never thought I would say that 5am or 6 would be an okay time to start my day. Crazy huh?! I'd like for her schedule to shift a little bit so she falls asleep later in the evening - giving us her biggest block of sleep while we can been sleeping too. I know I can't be too demanding at this point and that things will continue to change - at her choosing, not mine!

The beginning of this week was a bit rough on all of us. Chloe wasn't feeling well. Sunday was well documented with pictures but Monday and Tuesday was difficult. She had a bit of a temp (nothing horrible), and when she wasn't eating or sleeping she just cried and cried. I felt so bad for her. Yesterday and today was much better.

Late last week we were working on switching the formula we have been supplementing with from the regular stuff to soy. She had been SO gassy and a queen of spitting up, her doctor said that it might make a difference. With her not feeling well, probably from her vaccinations, we're not sure how much of a difference it has made. We'll give it a bit longer to see.

You can see from the background on a couple of pictures, that the soy formula we were using tends to leave some stains... and man it stinks! We picked up a different brand to see if there is any difference.

PICTURE TIME!
Zzzzzz...

Do you think I'm happy?!

Soy tastes great!

Put 'em up
My vaccinations kicked in!

I wish we didn't have burp rags and bibs in almost every picture, but she would be soaking wet without them...

Ellie was a soy baby! She felt so much better on soy than regular. Hope it works for you guys. Hey are you getting your email from work at home? I sent out the Super Bowl invite this week.
