Nonna Lena is here!

My grandma Lena arrived from Pittsburgh yesterday to help out for awhile - maybe as long as three weeks - while Jason works a couple stretches of five or six days at a time and while our daycare provider is on vacation for one of those weeks.  Nonna Lena is the is the original baby whisperer!  Babies just melt at her touch and are transfixed by her sing-song voice telling them stories or playing "pecora, pecora" (an Italian sort of tickle game about a little sheep tip-toeing all over your body).  Cayden has already spent many hours sleeping on her shoulder.  Jamison is happy to see her again too!



We had a weight check at the pediatrician's office yesterday.  Cayden is 8 lbs. 5 oz. and she is satisfied with his progress.  We won't be making any changes in his fortification or thickener any time soon, but she said I should keep up with the breast feeding at least a couple times a day to see how he handles it.
