Scrubbidy Dubbidy Doooo!

I just got done giving Sophia a bath. We've graduated from using the plastic baby bathtub to just laying her down in the regular bathtub. I think she enjoys getting a bath, but she tends to get real stiff once she gets in the water. She straightens and extends her legs. This makes it very hard to get all of those leg rolls clean because the skin is all squished together. It takes some work to get her to relax enough so that I can get all of those folds of skin clean. Often people comment on what a happy baby she is. This is true. She smiles easily and is very laid back. The only thing that seems to bother her is if she's really hungry or when she's teething, which she seems to be doing a lot lately. Fortunately, we found these little homeopathic teething tablets that really seem to help. We put two under her tongue, and she conks out soon after. With all the teething she's been doing, it seems like we should be seeing a tooth soon. It looks like the breast feeding days are coming to an end. I've had to supplement Sophia's feedings with formula ever since she was born, but within the past couple of weeks I haven't been able to keep up with her. It got to the point where I would breast feed her, and then right after she would drink 3-5 ounces from a bottle. Now, I'm breast feeding her about twice a day, and I don't expect that to last too much longer. I've always struggled with producing enough milk. I have to really stay on top of it with pumping after I breast feed (even if nothing comes out) to keep up my supply, and with 2 kids I just don't have the time to do that, so I'm not surprised that my supply has dropped off. I'm sad to see the breast feeding days come to an end with Sophia because it's a time of such closeness and I know it's good for her. At the same time, I'm happy to not have to worry hurrying home to feed her, leaking in public, using a breast pump, and wearing goofy bras.
