Back to Work

Today was my first day back to work! I shouldn't really call it a day of work, because I was only there for 3 and a half hours. A co-worker needed a few hours off during the day, so I worked for her. It was over lunch time so Andy didn't get a lot of sleep, but it was good for him to get to hang out with Hallee. Andy doesn't always do things the exactly way I would, and it's hard for me to not criticize him. I think it was good for him to get to parent his way for a few hours!

Wordless Wednesday

A Walk in the Park

Andy rotated his schedule at work last week. Now he is working overnights. We've enjoyed spending time together as a family in the afternoons and evenings as he worked during those hours all summer. Earlier in the week, we took Hallee for a walk on the bike path in town. It was beautiful and Hallee really enjoyed looking at everything. Yesterday, we walked around the path at the Outdoor Campus. It was a lot of fun! Hallee really likes being outside!

Bottle Battle

Finally!! After 3 long weeks of struggling to get Hallee to take a bottle, we have finally made progress. After she started her bottle strike, I walked down the shopping aisle of three (!) stores buying every bottle and nipple in stock. After she refused all of them, I was at my wits end. I was feeling a little claustrophobic thinking about not being able to leave Hallee...ever. Yesterday, we kind of turned a corner. We went back to the third bottle we tried, the Breastflow. It is a little odd looking, but it is working. She has to sit in her bouncy seat, with the seat vibrating, bottle and nipple both warmed, facing South. Okay, she doesn't care which way she's facing, but she is pretty picky about the rest!

Need I say more?

Sleeping Machine!

Hallee slept from Midnight until 9:35 this morning! That's the longest stretch she's ever slept. She still fights to stay awake until midnight every night, but we have time to fix that!
