This is my, “I just finished 6.75 ounces” face.
Suddenly in the last couple of days, Brendan went from a standard of 4.50 ounces, to a new ‘normal’ bottle amount of 5.75. But last night at 9:00 he polished off an extra ounce. For a little while he seemed like he was uncomfortable, but he settled down pretty quickly. This morning there were parades on the streets of Novato because he slept all the way from about 10:30 until almost 6:00!! It was my turn to do the middle of the night feeding, and I kept waking up to check on him because he wasn’t asking for his snack. I felt like that scene from Terms of Endearment where Shirley Maclaine wakes the baby to make sure she is breathing. The baby starts crying, and THEN Shirley can go back to sleep.
I know this trend probably won’t last, but man – what a great baby. And thanks for sleeping extra on my watch, Bren. Mommy loves you. xoxo
