Daddy's Little Katiedid
Andy is getting to be much more involved in the day to day care of Katie than he did Karis. Because she is bottle fed, he gets to feed her too. Lianne does most of the feedings so Andy has taken over the care of Karis. He is very pleased with his little harem. When Katie cries while he is holding her, they do the "Twist & Shout". He twists (rocks) and she shouts! You see him holding the lactation consultant reccommended binky from the hospital in her mouth here. She still has the tongue thrust reflex and doesn't keep it in herself even though sucking soothes her. This style of binky is supposed to be less damaging to efforts to nurse. I miss the binky keeper thingamajig that keeps binkies from falling on the floor when they are spit out. Getting tired of washing binkies. Karis has noticed where is is supposed to go and we have to gently steer her away from being "helpful" by jamming it into Katie's mouth!
