I wrote this last night, but couldn’t get it to post. I am not sure what was wrong with xanga! But here it is……
Evening…..yes, it is getting close to my bedtime so here I am. I am really enjoying reading the Super Baby Food book, I can’t believe the amount of info they go into regarding feeding your child. WOW! But most of it is interesting. It talked about how much formula/calories a baby should have daily. A 13 pound baby needed I think it was 650 calories or 30 ounces daily. Well Tommy is over 13 pounds, but he only drinks about 24-26 ounces a day. Not sure that is significant or not. The Dr said he didn’t need food until he drank 40 ounces a day, so he has a while I think.
Today was sort of an ordinary day. I got up early, but did go into work right away, I stayed home and fed Tommy his morning bottle and got him ready for his day. After he went down for his morning nap, I headed to work. I love the flexibility of my job, so I can still be involved with my baby.
Work was work……you know how that goes. I broke one of my promises I made about not bringing work home. Tonight I completed a couple of expenditure plans at home.
Thursday is the night I watch TV. Hubby and I and Tommy now too, cuddle up on the couch and watch our shows. I really enjoy Friends, Will & Grace and ER. So during Just Shoot me and after ER I completed some paperwork.
Hubby and I added some stuff to To mmy’s First Year Calendar. This week we add that he grabs toys and brings to his mouth. (he does this mostly with a dangling rattle on the cloth thing). He tries to hold his bottle and actually will for a little bit. Geez, now I can’t remember his other firsts for this week and I am too lazy to go get the calendar…LOL!! Oh yeah…I remember one…he LOVES the Disney Babies Playtime CD, especially the first song, Tickle Dee Dum. He fusses when the second song comes on, but if you play the first song again he is happy again. It is really funny.
We are still doing the signing for milk. It is going good and we *are actually remembering to sign most times we feed him. He looked tonight as he might have a clue the bottle was coming next, but I am not sure he might have seen the bottle.
