bsmiles and sunny days

It's so strange to have free minutes... I've been putting the baby to bed for naps three times a day. Today I sat at the piano  And couldn't figure out why it felt like  It had been long since we were united in song. It's because I've had a baby in my arms for 6 months. Now that I have free moments I'm a little lost.  It's hard to believe that he's growing  Independent of me already. It's been slow going but  The months are flying by! I have to discipline myself to be productive. It's not something I do naturally. I'm so thankful for a break. I love that little bugger, but he wears me out! Lvb

Something I read recently has given me hope. I can't get away from how important this tidbit of information has become to me in these past few weeks. Babies of all ages, pre-solid food, need 24 ounces of milk a day, whether breast milk or formula. 24 ounces for 24 hours. I am tired. Really, really tired. Moses has never slept thru the night. I have tried cluster feeding, a bottle at bedtime, and cereal. So my plan was to bulk up his total caloric intake during the day to see if he would sleep longer at night. Which I did. And he did. I did not anticipate the weeks of diarrhea that would follow the formula intake. We have finally recovered from that and I am ready to try again. We'll see how my theory plays out. I will let you know! Lvb
