Talia's appetite has been on the attack over the past few days, especially today. This girl is almost out of control. About half of her feedings have been separated by only 2 hours, the rest about 3 hours. Wondering if everything was OK, we consulted one of our baby books and were reassured that she is expected to want more food sometime during the 6th week because of a growth spurt that usually occurs at this time. I thought that this was a good time to remind Alysia what the pediatrician told us a while ago - "she's the boss right now".
Of course, if her digestive system is receiving milk every 2-3 hours, then something's got to give - that "something" is gas, and lots of it. At one point she caused us to turn our heads in amazement of how much she sounded like a grown man. Almost every time that she exerts some amount of energy to move around, at least one slips out. But of course, she's oblivious to all of it... 8)
As if the growth spurt doesn't leave her hungry enough, the coming week for Talia will include a lot of activity: her 1-month check-up, being a spectator at another one of my softball games, and going on her second "big" car trip when we head down to Lansing to help Alysia's brother, Ben, move in to his apartment at Michigan State. Here's to hoping that Alysia doesn't dry up this week...!
Until next time.....
