Lee is a total tech-junkie: from vacuum cleaners to dvd players, to cell phones to remote controls, and beyond…he just loves anything that goes bleep or clicks. His latest obsession, Tristan’s electric toothbrush is no exception. He just parades around as long as he can with it, drool pouring from his mouth and down the front of him. He’ll put it down on the floor or wherever for a moment, whirling away but come back to it pretty quickly.
Here’s a quick clip of him in action with it over on YouTube. My video uploads haven’t been working here lately.
Tristan and I are out for our 1st wknd outing today w/Lee. I picked up his 1st Curious George’s book and tried out one of the baby slings.
We’re still definitely adjusting to parenthood and won’t be out much longer.
For some reason my Posterous posts aren’t coming through with pics here. So I’ve edited the post to include them here now. And oh how cute they are!
So this is the basic technique we’ve been using to feed Lee, when he’s being too fussy to feed from the breast:
We use a little 1.5 tsp-sized syringe to drop in the breast milk alongside our finger; he goes through about 1 every 2-3 mins at the fastest and 15-mins at the slowest. Whether or not this is a measure of our speed of dispensing it, varies based on who’s feeding him. If it’s me at 4am, then it sometimes takes me 10-15-mins for one; other times I squeeze it all out in less than 5.
We’re still trying to get him stop fussing at the breast, but Tristan’s just getting frustrated and doesn’t like to see him upset. It’s definitely something that takes getting used to and should work itself out with practice.
