cycles...


We've settled down into a reasonable routine comprised of iterations of the following: sleep...poop...change diaper...breastfeed...burp...Sleep durations are usually ~2 hours, though last night she wowed us with 3.5 hours of quality snoozing! Mom and Critter have the breastfeeding thing down to a smooth exchange...Ále starts her "boob-radar" when she wakes up and starts rooting in all directions in search of milk...when presented she can pretty much latch herself on and autoregulate...Diaper changes have been less nasty than anticipated, though Ále squawks up a storm at having her britches swapped out...we use this to wake her up for feeding...As I type this Jeanette and Ále have finished a feeding and both are drooping gracefully- Ále on the boppy pillow bundled in a blanket and Jeanette conked out, drooling gracefully in the chair...time to carry my girls upstairs for bed...

Okay, brother dear, a word of caution...not recommended to mention breastfeeding and drooping in the same sentence!

(Although I do suppose if one were to droop, gracefully would be the way to go!)
