pump up the jam

pump up the jam...  pump it up!  i'm a believer of hospital-grade pumps now.  after 1 week of using the rental hospital-grade pump, my supply from pumping (not including nursing) went from 4oz to 12oz per day (maybe more than that now).   so maki is back to getting only 1 bottle of formula per day.  yay!  i used it before too but i wasn't convinced of the advantage until now.  even though i have my pump-in-style at work, i've been lugging my rental pump to work which is not fun at all.  but anything for my baby love...  to increase my supply, i also added an extra pumping session for several days but now i'm back to my regular schedule.  last week someone asked me if i ever tried my milk.  i told them no and they were surprised.  so the other day, i had a drop of it.  ewww it didn't taste like cow's milk at all.  it has a slight sweet taste but overall kind of bland.  i wanted to throw up.  haha

still losing my hair in clumps... this has been going on for over 3 months!  when does it stop?!  i'd rather they just fall out at once so i don't have to keep sweeping the floor and keep finding it on maki's hands, on my clothes, on the rug, on the couch - pretty much everywhere except on my head.  it also doesn't help that maki is into eating hair right now.... mine, mik's and nanny's.  he just likes to eat hair!  funny baby...

we started him on avocado yesterday.  he likes it a lot!  he almost finished 1/4 of an avocado today.

yummy avocado - he loves it!

it's xmas time in the santos-aguilar residence....  fall/winter clothes for chubby cheeks!

here's a video of mik doing the "squealing baby workout" (don't try this at home):
