August 4: Holding Down the Fort Stateside

on August 12, 2008

Lunch with Grandpa! 

I did Dad a huge favor by sleeping 8 hours and not getting up for a snack until 4:30 am.  Dad brought me a bottle and then I fell right back to sleep until 7:00!  So, 10.5 hours of sleep with only one quick snack.  Nana was already up and about getting my bottles ready, eating breakfast, and generally getting ready for me to come down the stairs.

As soon as I did, she grabbed me out of Dad’s arms and the fun began.  I ate at 7:30 and just as Nana and I were about to go the park, it started storming.  When there was a break in the clouds, we ran out for a quick walk until it started sprinkling.  Mom covered up my stroller and brought us back home.  I had a huge poop and then ate again at 10:30.  I ate at 1:00 and then had play time with Grandpa while Nana rested for a bit.  Grandpa didn’t notice my  second huge poop of the day — Dad noticed after I started screaming and he went to pick me up.

I fell asleep at 2:25 and Grandpa took me up to my crib, instead of putting me in my bassinet.  That didn’t last long, as I was up again before 3:00.  Then, still having not eaten since 1:00, I fell asleep at around 3:50…and I slept…and I slept…and I slept…and I slept…until 6:20!  That’s a 2 1/2 hour nap and 5.5 hours between feedings!  I don’t think Mom would be too happy!  Grandpa gave me my bottle and then even though Dad asked if he could take me on a walk, Nana insisted on taking me for my evening walk.

We got back, Dad gave me a bath, and then I got my first, last, and only bottle of real milk today.  (Dad was going to go all-formula all-day and consolidate the war-chest toward the end of the week, but Mom phoned in a request from Cambridge, UK, so Dad conceded.)

Napping with Nana!
