Transitions

We have entered into a transition phase. For starters, Will began drinking whole milk on Saturday! This was a big milestone for us and a huge relief that he adjusted so well from momma's milk straight to whole. Another change is that he is only getting one bottle at night time. Every other liquid he drinks is from the sippy cup. This is such an answered prayer! I was really worried about him getting dehydrated because on Saturday he would not drink more than a sip of milk from the sippy cup. He does fine with water, but I think because the milk was now cold and not in a bottle it threw him for a loop. This morning, however, he drank 5 oz out of a sippy cup right after I got him up! I was so proud of him.

He is cutting 3 new teeth at the moment...all at the same time, poor little guy! He is drooling like crazy and I can tell he is experiencing some discomfort. The past 2 nights he has woken up screaming and had to be rocked to sleep. It is rough now to wake up in the middle of the night but I can't say that I mind. It was nice to just have him snuggle up with me and fall back asleep. Seeing as how I just ordered his first birthday invitations today, he won't be my little baby much longer!

Dinner has gotten so much better for us and actually fun these days. We put most of his food on his tray and he feeds himself. He is loving fruit-blueberries, strawberries and grapes are his favorite right now! Now that he feeds himself, we can actually all eat dinner as a family. John and I sit down and eat while he is eating. Last night I gave him some of my macaroni and cheese and he loved it! So fun that we can try new things now.

Prayers up for my friend Holly M. who is having Baby Jay tomorrow! This will certainly be a transition period for her as well. I can't wait for her to have a little BOY to love on!!
