Day Two of daycare

Well, Miss Sophie cried a bit during drop-off at daycare this morning when K left. Poor baby. But when he went back at lunchtime to pick her up, she was happy to see him, and they reported that she only cried for a few minutes and then recovered nicely. No fingerpainting today, but she did glue some apples onto a tree for her project. She is eating well for them...yesterday, we sent a banana for her snack. They started with half of it, and said she still seemed hungry. She ended up eating the ENTIRE banana! And then she ate an apple pancake and 1/3 of a sausage link for dinner. Tonight, a stuffed shell with sauce and two brussell sprouts!

Tonight before bed, I made 6 ounces of a 50/50 mixture of milk and formula, heated it up, and put it in the sippy cup, but served it to her as though it was a bottle - that is, she reclined in my arms and I held the cup like a bottle. It has a nifty little mouthpiece that is soft like a bottle nipple, but she has to chomp down on it and suck to get the milk out. Well, she CHUGGED it down, and when I tipped her up to burp her, she used the sign for "more". So, K went and heated up about 2 ounces of plain milk, which she also drank right down. Maybe tomorrow we'll try a 60/40 mix. I just don't remember how we switched EJ from formula to milk and overcame the temperature factor. It's been too long...

And taking Sophie for a portrait this past weekend was good practice for her, as tomorrow is picture day at daycare! And EJ's picture day is Thursday. I'm gonna go broke buying photos...
