Skinnie Minnie

Lucie is officially skinny. After gaining only 3 ounces in the last 3 weeks and falling a full two pounds behind Ryan, Lucie has been proscribed extra feedings to boost her weight. Personally, I think it's due to her heavy cardio routine of repeated rolling. Though the near constant finger-sucking probably isn't helping either.

Unfortunately, increasing Lucie's weight isn't so simple. Lucie and Ryan stopped taking a bottle around Christmas-time so we needed to look for another way to increase the calories. Luckily for us, Lucie quickly figured out how a sippy cup works. Now she chases her breastmilk with a triple shot of formula. She should be filling out her sleeper in no-time.
