What's New?
I feel like I haven't written in a while. Work is very busy for me so I don't have time to do personal stuff during the day. :)
Natalie seems to be doing well at day care. No picking up illnesses yet though she seems to have congestion that waxes and wanes. She is drinking a lot while there - much more than I am producing naturally so we will soon be supplementing with formula. I hope that is not an issue with her. I don't remember Lexi having a problem switching from breast milk to formula. I will continue to use the breast pump though as I really like the convenience of nursing when I am with Natalie. Bothering with bottles is a pain.
Stephen is 39 today and Lexi is 4 and a half. She continues to evolve. Now she is into wearing dresses again. Good thing as most of the pants that she wants to wear have holes in the knees. I finally threw them out and got some more of the type that she likes to wear. We are continuing with the swimming lessons. After one lesson where she got really freaked out, I managed to coax her to go back for the next lesson and she has continued to do well. Last time, we even went in the really deep end (12 ft) and she swam with this noodle floaty thing around her waist for quite a distance. She hasn't quite figured out how to kick her legs in the most efficient way but she tries with gusto.

4-month stats
Natalie went to the pediatrician yesterday, just two days after her 4-month birthday.
Her stats:
Weight: 15 lb 5 oz
Height: 26.5 inches
Head circumference: 43 cm
Here is her photo at 4 months:
We have her wearing the bib because she can be quite drooly to the point to soaking her shirt front. It's kind of gross.
We need have her do more tummy time says the doctor. She often doesn't seem to like it so we tend to not leave her there too long.
She seems to be adapting well to day care and while we have had some sporadic sleeping at night, last night she went for 7 hours without needing to eat. Hoorah! Hoping for more nights like this.
