Short update on Elly and Erin

Posted by Elly's DH:

Both Elly and Erin are doing fine - Elly's just catching up on sleeping
while I'm
checking her e-mails at her request.

Erin has a nice breastfeeding & sleeping pattern already - waking up every
2,5 hours to be fed - apart from the small crisis from 10 pm until midnight,
when she (after the bath, nappy change and feeding) won't go back to sleep
in her cradle for 2 hrs - she likes to be held then; when we put her down,
she fusses until she's picked up again, but then around midnight she's too
tired to care anymore so she gives up. We're working on this, tough.

She's a very peaceful child and hardly ever cries - she did that in the
beginning during the nappy change, but she stopped doing that yesterday.
When she wants to eat, she just puts her hands in the mouth and sucks them
for a while - that's her sign for us saying "please feed me!"; if we don't
feed her in the next 10 minutes, then she starts
"calling" us.

BIG NEWS: Erin's belly button fell off yesterday!!!

If I can't be a good example, then I'll just have to be a
horrible warning.
