Caleb is so smart that he knows exactly when Dave and I are starting to feel comfortable in a routine....so he changes it up so we don't get too comfortable!!!

So for a little while now he's been doing a long sleep, followed by his regular 3 hour sleeps...it was nice because that long sleep was definitely refreshing for us...BUT for the past two nights, no more long sleep!!! The first night, we fed him at 745 and he went down maybe an hour or so after that. Fine, we think, he'll get up again at around 2, which is normal. NOPE. He got up at 12:30...started eating, and threw a fit before settling down to drink again. Then up again at 4:30...not too bad.

Last night was another story...we fed him 5 ounces at 7:30 because we've been finding that after his 4 ounces he is still sucking hard and cries a little when we pull the bottle away. So we feed him, he's fussy, goes to sleep...wakes us up at 12:00, starts to eat nicely, then starts SCREAMING bloody murder. Dave has him at this point and is trying everything to calm him down, but his fatigue is getting the best of him and I decide to take him. Now, we've noticed a little bit that he'll immediately calm down when I take him...he'll fuss a little, but not nearly the bloody murder yells he gives when Dave has him. He calms down, I give him back to Dave (he has to get used to his daddy too!), and he starts howling again. Frick. So I take him back, calm him down, and eventually he starts eating again...I hand him off to Dave and he finishes his bottle and goes back to sleep. At 4:30, he's up again, and fussing again after I start to feed him. He has to be calmed, burped, and then calmed again before he proceeds to inhale another 5 ounces. This morning, he gets up around 7:30, eats a little bit, fusses, eats a little bit more, chills...he only eats about 2 ounces so now his feeding is all crazy and I don't know if I should be feeding him more or less or what...dangit.

Okay, he's had it with his playmat so I better go grab the little guy...
