Kanien's working really hard getting Marcella to eat. She nurses her every two hours, and gives her formula in between nursing episodes. When we started giving her formula, she didn't really like it. We started with two ounces, which she ate fine, but promptly let us know it wasn't agreeing with her by putting the entire two ounces onto her blanket. I couldn't believe she had that much room in her stomach!! So a few hours later we gave her one ounce, thinking the two ounces were just too many, and with a smaller dose she'd be alright. Well...same thing happened. We figured she was getting too much formula too fast. So now we let her eat for 30 seconds, then burp her for five minutes. It takes about half an hour for her to eat two ounces, but at least she's keeping it down. Here are some more pictures.

I love the picture of Kanien holding her and the one with her wrapped up the fuzzy white blanket. Babies look so precious asleep. Thanks for the videos too. Matthew, Grace and I all loved them. Matthew kept saying, "Baby, baby."
Marcella is so cute!!! Thanks for letting me babysit her on saturday. The videos were super funny. I am the best babysitter ever. Right?
You and Kristin make a great babysitting team. Just remember that babies can't suck on empty bottles, or the nipples from the bottles. It turns them into projectile vomiting machines.
oops
