Sitting pretty

Claire continues to master the art of sitting on her own. She can go for what mom & dad consider to be fairly long stretches (20 minutes) as long as someone is in front of her for entertainment purposes.

Claire and mom had a girls weekend while dad was off playing in the snow. Trips to Coffee Club, a visit with cousins Alex and Ryan and brunch got Claire and mom out of the house. Sunday afternoon Claire began to exhibit some not so typical behavior and mom and dad are trying to determine if she may be experiencing the first signs of cutting teeth. We haven't seen anything that looks like a tooth (or inflamed gums) but we know that the pain can start much earlier than any visual indication.

The milk supply is slowly dwindling and we have started to introduce formula. We still had formula that we paid for (read insurance paid for!) the hospital gave us when we left the NICU and hope that the milk supply will make it for another 10 days or so. The formula we are using is the preemie stuff which is loaded with additional calorie building ingredients so Claire is packing on the weight. Seriously.
