Wow! We never realized what a difference it is to formula feed. It is smellier in all aspects...not to mention it takes longer for the little one to digest. Zoe started with 3 oz. breast milk and a half ounce formula for about a week and a half, now she is drinking 2 and a half ounces of BM and 1 oz. of formula. She has been doing that for about a week and we are about to start giving her half and half. Maybe in about 3 weeks, she will be 100% formula fed. I pumped for as long as I could...
Zoe has been such a trooper this week...she must be growing and she sure is slobbering A LOT!!! I checked for teeth and/or swollen gums, but I don't think there's anything yet. Phew!!! She has been putting herself down for her naps now. Yeah!!! She takes her small silky and relaxes for a few minutes, then just conks right out. We are still working on her going down on her own for the night. She hasn't been sleeping as well as she is capable of, but we've been trying to figure out what works best for her in her crib and how to adjust the temperature to make her the most comfortable. Thanks to Papa and Daddy, she now has a ceiling fan...Papa and Daddy had to crawl in the hot attic to rewire the electricity. We now have two bedrooms with fans and one to go!
Zoe is starting to get big enough for 3-6 month clothing. She will be 16 weeks on Saturday!!! We can't believe how FAST time flies. She is reaching and grabbing some of her toys, still talking like crazy and loves to stand on our laps. 
You did an awesome job pumping!!! Zoe is lucky to have a mom as dedicated as you!!!
