A Quick Note

Sorry I haven't written much lately...been a little busy :-)

* Nic is eating like a champ! I'm pumping most everything so Brian and I can split the duties at night. He's eating 4 ounces every two to three hours...we're waiting for those stretches to become a bit longer at night to no avail.

*Nic's baby acne is at it's height. I think only relatives will think he's beautiful right now. It must be hard getting used to the 'elements' outside of the womb!

* On the weigh in on our bathroom scale yesterday, Nic weighed 8 pounds and Nora weighed 30.5. We've got two wonderful eaters in this house...make that four (including Mommy and Daddy). It only took Nora three years to enjoy eating, but we finally got her there.

* Nora is doing famously with Nic, but taking out her jealousy issues on her parents. "No" has become her favorite word and she does most anything she wants. The timeout chair is starting to get a bit worn.

* After our third attempt at creating baby announcements, we finally got it right. They will be addressed and stamped this week.

* Nora is going to stay with her Auntie Pea from Wednesday until Saturday in Ellensburg! Mommy and Daddy are eternally grateful!

* The guest bathroom is getting a face lift. A new shower is being added so our guests don't have to tramp through the garage to get clean.

The best piece of eating advice I got from the nurses when the boys were infants was: take their weight and divide by two, that's how much formula/milk they should be offered at a feeding. Once we started doing that the time between feedings became more manageable. Even though the scale says 8 maybe he's getting close to the 9 pound mark?

I'm sure he's beautiful!
