Sleep is the thing

We've all been working on sleep these days. 

This is how our nights look.

Naps look like this!

And the rest of the day looks like this.

Frances is one month, yesterday. She's had quite the week. On Monday past I took her with me to a lactation consultant because I'd had some lingering concerns about her latch, spitting up, infrequent poops and fussiness.  The first thing the consultant noticed was a significant tongue tie, which is where the tongue is attached to the bottom of the mouth with a skin attachment called a frenulum. With a lot of tears from mom, she had her tie "revised" on Tuesday, and has been healing up quickly since.  Her spit up has decreased dramatically, she's pooping more, and much less fussy.  We are still working on the latch, which I've been assured will improve with time and strength.  She's doing great! 

Nolan is on the move.  It's raining in Chicago so instead of Nick and Nolan's daily trip to the park, right now I am listening to the sounds of water play in the tub, complete with food coloring and bubbles. Oh to be a toddler.
