another week

Last weekend was nice and relaxing: on Saturday we were at a water polo game, Pacific Tiger played.. quite bad actually, but oh well, our Hungarian standards are pretty high, specially knowing that we won the Olympic gold medal against the US .. and there was a swimming competition afterwords, so we stayed and watched the cute girls/boys swimming :D
on Sunday we washed the car, which we haven't done in a while, and celebrating it we added some new bumper stickers.
Bori is still great, sweet little angel: she sleeps quite much, she's smiling now, occasionally, but certainly if she's in a good mood (full stomach, and after sleep) then you can "talk" with her, so cute.. her eating is getting a bit better, I'm still trying the breastfeeding, but it seems that she's just lazy .. if she's fed by breastfeeding, then she gets ca. 100mL, and she is good for ca 3 hours.. if she's fed by bottle (milk or formula), then she eats at least 130-150mL (5oz), and she's good for 4-5 hours.. of course it's not true when it comes to nights.. our nights are still inconsistent, can't predict whether I'll get 3-4-5 hours sleep.. but oh well, it's not that tiring than I would have imagined, specially cause I'm always feeding her by bottle in the middle of the night, it is soo much quicker.
Reka likes her daycare quite much, they went on a Field trip this Wednesday, came back with a planted seed, a pumpkin, and some walnuts (shelled ones)..
This weekend we'll be busy because one of our good old friend, Kati, is visiting from Santa Barbara: she is Hungarian and also a chemists :D, graduated from ELTE, Budapest, 1 year after me, then did her phd in Germany and now postdoc in Santa Barbara. We haven't seen her for ages.. and she's just that kind of person with whom we continue from the same point where we've left off years ago.. I like those kind of people, who does not make a fuss about why we weren't in contact for some time... anyway... so Kati, is visiting :D arriving Friday evening, and leaving Monday evening...
oke, posting some pictures now, and then back to work..

The pictures of the girls are adorable!! I share your frustration with the breatfeeding issue. Brayden is so lazy when it comes to breastfeeding...when I finally get him to latch on properly, he just lies there after less than 5 minutes of sucking and falls asleep! Then he fusses & screams afterwards b/c he's still hungry & we try again & he falls asleep again! I've been pumping & bottlefeeding. At least then I know he's eating but feeding him takes 2 extra steps then (pumping then cleaning the pump & bottles!)If it makes you feel any better, we're only getting about 3 hours of sleep a night on average w/out Brayden waking us... I'm happy to hear that Reka enjoys daycare & that Bori is allowing you to enjoy yourself @ the pool!
