Tonight we taught the meaning of Easter to Brennan and Emilee about how Jesus was ressurected to Earth and we use eggs to celebrate as a rebirth. (Correct if I am wrong) So as it goes, Da went to Walmart to get dyes and eggs. Da was soooo good about making sure to get everything right that the eggs turned out really well...as the story goes. ( We only took pictures of the results to save Da from embarrasment)
Hey, at least Brennan is happy with the outcome of the Eggs.
So is Emilee. She looks funny b/c she has food in her mouth.
Ok so here goes the real story. Da was very careful to buy dyes and eggs that he didn't even bother reading the instructions for all the ingredients. So we had enough vinegar for two colors instead of six and you can tell what colors they were. When we were in the dye-ing process, Da was so careful not to use newspaper to base everything that we hav color dyes-RED-all over the kitchen floor as well. Da being so good that Abbey didn't have to remind him that it is best to dye the bright colors before mixing with the darks; not vice versa-so in the end all the colors greenish/purplish-thanks Da. Other than that, the kids loved it and Easter has a different history in the Zhao family.

hahahahaha! That's the best story i have heard all day!
hehehehe... have fun scrubbing the floor... anything for the kids, right?!
BTW, thanks for the tips. This is actually the third time we switch formula with Kaitlyn. She doesn't drink that much with the original Enfamil that we started with or the Nestle's soy that we are now giving her. When she used to drink 6 oz (5.5 oz water + powder) she was actually on Enfamil's "Gentlease", which is way thinner/more watery.
Now she barely finishes 4.5 oz of the soy formula.
Oh, & last night I did what you guys said. I gave her only 3 oz, just enough for her to fall back asleep again. Hopefully we'll be able to cut back more gradually & she will sleep more than 4 hrs soon!
yeah, it was the doc who told us to switch.
And 20 mins. sounds just about right. We usually spend the same amount of time burping her, so the whole feeding process takes about 45 mins. However, last night's feeding (early morning) she drank almost 6 oz (water with powder) in 20 mins. Mel gave her 4 & she wanted more. I've got to say that she's a BEAST when it comes to eating! When she doesn't have enough, she screams at the top of her lung instantaneously until she gets more. When you meet her you'll know what I mean. :-)
Regarding the nipple size: we have already switched to the Avent's "1 Month +" a month ago. We also have some Playtex brand "Stage 2" nipples, but the flow was WAY TOO fast for her. So, for now, we are sticking with the Avent brand.
