Still learning...

Well, we made it 2 days alone, and we're both still alive and happy! It was a bit chillier yesterday, so we had to bundle up extra good to take our walk. She was also thrown off her schedule a bit yesterday. She didn't want to eat a full 2 1/2 ounces like usual at each feeding, she was at about 1 1/2 - 2 ounces, and a bit more frequently. It wasn't bad once i realized what was going on and how to soothe her. So the day ended up flying by pretty quickly until Frank came home. He still has a bit to learn about taking care of the baby. Not that i'm an expert or anything now, but i think being home with her all day and having nobody to pass her off to, i think i'm starting to figure things out pretty quickly. Frank, on the other hand, is taking a bit longer. He tends to get frustrated quicker, and he doesn't know what to do to soothe her. I said to him last night, "You need to calm down, she can pick up on your frustration and that makes her fuss more. If you are calm, she will calm down too" He doesn't seem to believe me, but when i take her from him and she calms down, how can he not?! He will learn, it'll just take him time i guess.
