Back to the Grind

First day back at work.

It's weird.

I miss Christophe

(ok, and Pierrette too, but I'm used to being away from her when I go to work).

Earth Hour by WWF

On Saturday from 8pm to 9pm turn off your lights and join thousands around the world in making a statement about conserving energy.

I think this is a great thing to participate in with kids. Christophe is too young to remember this but for older kids its a great way to jump start a conversation about how to preserve our precious planet.

For more information check out the Earth Hour web site.

9 lbs: No More Formula

We had an appointment with the midwives this afternoon, and Christophe was weighed again. He's nine pounds, 140z more than the last visit a week ago, or an average of two ounces gained per day. This is high enough that Christie has suggested we stop supplementing with formula, and revert to breastfeeding only.



Since that was always our desire, this is a pleasing development. Not to mention, that means that Christophe's doing well in terms of growth and weight gain.
