Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. It's just that we have not done too many interesting things and neither has Michael! Just the same old same old really!

Yesterday, Michael had lunch at a cafe and watched Mommy choke on a piece of lamb that she ate that was too big for her. Dad almost had to heimlich (sp?) Mommy, but good thing a good bang on the back got that piece of meat out. Then, Michael took a nap as we went to Montparnasse to buy a Navigo only to find that the fact that our bank still has not spelled our name correctly or have the right address.

Then, Michael went in the cold and rain to the Marais area, only to turn back around and go home. Not too fun for him but he took a nap on dad, which he LOVES.

Today, just more playing at home. We are trying to get naps/mealtimes/food intake back on schedule. I will post just some random information in case you are interested.

Michael's Meal Plan
(50g = ~1.75-2 ounces)

Breakfast: Breastmilk, rice cereal with 2-3 ounces of formula mixed in. Occasional fruit.
Lunch: Breastmilk, 50g fruit, 50g vegetable, 0.5 ounces of formula (to supplement)
Afternoon: Breastmilk (if he takes it), 50g fruit, 50g vegetable, 30-40g yogurt, 0.5 ounces formula
Nighttime: Breastmilk

For Michael, I have to catch him when he is a bit sleepy for him to nurse. Otherwise, he is just crazy and bouncy and will not eat. That is one reason I have started to add in formula, just in case. He won't take the bottle, so I give him extra formula on a spoon or mixed in with rice cereal that is imported from U.S.A! I am looking for a sippy cup here but it is hard to find!

  • Apples - Indifferent. Prefers homemade puree of apples
  • Bananas - Started out liking them. Now doesn't really care for them.
