So after pushing Mommy to yet another breaking point, she decided to chalk my Monday up to a growth spurt and me still not being ale to tolerate the convenient drop-in bottles.  I think it was the only 2 hours total of sleeping that I did for the entire day that made Momma crazy!  Also, Ive decided to change up her ridged feeding schedule.  I want to eat when I want and how much I want.  I’m definitely showing her who wears the big baggy newborn pants in the house!

I’d like to give shout outs to all those Grandparents and Great-Grandparents out there without whom there would be no Parker Cay!!

Age: 1 month
Height: 22 3/4 inches
Weight: 10 pounds 4 oz
Nicknames:
Likes: Eating 5 oz per feeding every 4 hours, being swaddled and held…all the time.
Dislikes: Not being directly attached to someone.
Notes: I’ve been using a new formula that seems to help my belly a little, but they’ll need the super-extra strength version  to combat my crankiness.  Bath time seems to go OK for quite a while before I politely ask to be removed from the tub…errrrr…I mean…yell.  My big sister can usually stop me from crying for a minute or two by doing silly dances and singing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”.   I still wear size newborn clothes, and they’re too big!!  Haven’t visited any places outside of Mema’s and Gigi’s house…a little too unpredictably cranky for that.

Here are a few sets of random pics from the end of August:

End Of August

and the beginning of September:

On Friday, I got to spend some quality time with Mema in the rocking chair.  Mommy had to take lunch to Morgan’s school for a “Thank you” since it was her last day at that school, so Mema came down to hang with me until Mommy got back.  I was a little cranky when Mommy left, but Mema and I had a 30 minute staring contest and then I was down for the count.  I guess she won!  Thanks, Mema!

 Formula Update:  So I’m a litlle high maintenace.  If you didn’t already know, I’m taking Alimentum (a specialty formula), BUT it has to be “Ready to Feed;” none of this put a little powder in and shake business.  Nope.  I make Mommy and Daddy use the expensive stuff AND warm all my bottles!  I’m already runnin’ this joint!  Anyway, big shout-outs to Gigi and Dr. Mary Lou for helping my belly to feel better (and giving us hookups on formula)!  I tried to tell Mommy with all of my crying that I wasn’t feeling well, but it took a trip to Ferry Street Peds to get someone to listen to me!  Thanks!!
