Open House
We’ll see whether I actually have time to post anything tomorrow, but I thought it might still be fun to let people follow along on my first full solo day, and to get a chance to see our baby data tracking in action.
For the next 24 hours, I’m turning on public access to some of the data we track daily using Trixie Tracker. If you’re interested to see how much and when Julian and Eloise eat, sleep, and poop, just pop on in!
(From today, for example, you can see that Julian napped for crap, while Eloise was a perfect angel.)

Graph
We’ve been using Trixie Tracker if not quite religiously, at least diligently, and generally we love it. It’s been incredibly helpful not to have to remember when Julian last ate, or when Eloise last pooped, since we can just look it up. I’ll write at more length some other time about how we’re using the service and its strengths and weaknesses, but for now I’ll just share that I discovered the “export” feature and have been having some fun in Excel.
Here’s Julian’s eating history. We have a five-day trailing average of ounces of breastmilk+formula in blue (left axis) and number of bottles per day in red (right axis).
Julian's Bottles
The math nerd in me just got very excited. I could run a linear regression! Hypothesis: minutes slept per day is positively correlated with ounces consumed, and negatively correlated with minutes slept the previous day.
