Mommy and Daddy are pretty tired, so I’m trying to help out wherever I can. Mommy is the main person that feeds Lauren, but she’s been so hungry that the doctor said to give her an extra little bottle of something called formula. It smells funny, BUT it comes in little bottles that I can handle no problem. So I get to help give Lauren the formula!

First, you talk to Lauren and tell her what you are doing and you rub the top of the bottle on her lips so she gets used to it.

Then soon enough she latches right on and start sucking...

Mommy taught me to lift the bottle up so no air gets in - the air makes Lauren uncomfortable.

And then you just give a big smile because you are feeding your baby sister!

(Dad note: This is the 1,000th post I’ve made on this blog. Somewhat fitting that in many respects we are right back where we started 3.5 years ago! As the above shows, this time through we have an extra set of hands 🙂 Looking forward to sharing many more adventures in the years to come. Thank you for following along – it’s been a lot of fun sharing the joy that Maile (and now Lauren) bring to our lives!)
