First Bottle Feeding

Andrew has been eager to help with feeding Claire, so yesterday, I pumped for the first time so that Andrew could feed Claire breast milk from a bottle. It seemed to go very well.

Laura and Alex left yesterday. Here are some more photos that were taken while they were here.



Claire loves to put her hands up near her face as she sleeps.


We've been getting longer stretches of sleep at night, but Claire seems to have developed a bad case of acid reflux. After every feeding she has been crying for an hour or two. The night before last, she went 7 hours between feedings and last night we had a 6 hour stretch. However, after feeding comes the hour or so of crying, so we can't fully appreciate the in between time.

The remnants of Claire's umbilical cord fell off this morning to reveal a beautiful innie belly button.
