Dorothy's Adventures

Yesterday (Easter Sunday), Dorothy went out to her first restaurant! Elizabeth and her Dad (who was visiting for a couple of days), Dorothy, and I all went to IHOP for breakfast. Dorothy was very well-behaved for most of the meal. I did have to offer a pinky finger for her to suck on to calm down near the end, but she was the 'star' of all the waitresses. It was certainly nice to be able to go out to eat instead of bringing food back home.

At the moment (Monday afternoon), I'm home alone with Dorothy for the first time! :-O Elizabeth had to go into the office briefly and then to her 6-week check-up, so I've got a bunch of milk in the fridge. Dorothy has already had 4 ounces; she probably could have taken a bit more, but that seemed to keep her happy. She's actually doing real well -- she ate at 10am, Elizabeth left at noon, and then Dorothy didn't need to eat again until almost 2pm. Once she decided she wanted to eat, it was a bit stressful as I warmed the expressed milk while she was crying, but once we got the bottle to her, she was happy. I've got her in the sling now, and she even 'helped' me do some laundry.
