first bottle

I have been having some trouble breastfeeding so we will give him SOME of his feedings in a bottle. Here is Daddy giving Grayson his very first bottle. Some babies don't take the bottle easily after nursing exclusively, but he hasn't had trouble going back and forth. He isn't picky about how he gets his milk!!

To Grammy, From Grayson

Thanks Grammy for coming to help my Mommy & Daddy!! I had fun, and am sad that you left. I guess my plan didn't work...I was hoping my evening long crying fit would make you stay longer. Oh well.

Thanks again for my sweater and hat...sorry I puked all over it.

Grayson sure tested our patience last night when he was screaming, crying, and inconsolable until around 2am. We were wondering if he was sick, overtired, or just fussy. We used the pacifier for the first time, and since it is not recommended while breastfeeding, I think I actually cried when it first went in his mouth. It helped, and by the middle of the night it fell out of his mouth and he didn't seem to care. This morning he seems to be back to normal. Here's hoping...since Grammy went back to Michigan today, and Mommy is all alone for the first time since baby boy arrived.
