Happy Saturday ....
Ian and Mommy spent a quiet happy Saturday together alone with their longest 'Roo' session yet. Steve took a well earned rest day and hit the ski slopes at Tamarack Mountain while Mom and Ian enjoyed some 'recreational breastfeeding'! Ian is still too young to manage to complete the 'breathe-suck-swallow' rountine, so he is merely encouraged to pretend to feed from his Mom until he is better able to manage the complexities of this task. Ian's weight has stayed somewhat similar with the last few days having seen terrific increases in his food intake (now at 12 cc's) which have contributed to his 5 oz weight gain since last Sauturday.
