ml's

I was looking at one of Brecken's bottles this evening and I just had to stop and go, "WOW". He is now eating about 6.5 ounces at a time sometimes. If you don't want to do the math, that means about 195-200 ml's. It honestly seems like just last week when we were struggling to get him to eat 58 ml's so that we could go home from the hospital. That 58 ml's would be eaten in one hour, if we were lucky. Now the 195 ml's can be eaten in about 15 minutes if he's hungry enough. Then I think about Brecken's first feeding, he ate 10 ml's and most of it was forced. He had tired out after 4 ml's. I am still amazed every single day at how fast he is changing. I love every minute of it but I am sad at the same time, he's not my tiny little baby anymore! He's now getting an attitude. He was mad when I picked him up from the babysitter's today because he was having a graham cracker snack and he wasn't done yet. He will also throw my hand away from him if I try to give him something he wants. However, his smiles outnumber that by far. You should've seen him this afternoon- he smiled at everyone we saw in the grocery store. He's such a wonderful little boy. And you should see him when I pick him up from the babysitter. He grins and drops what he is doing (with the exception of his snack today!) and when I pick him up, he wraps his little arms around my neck and puts his lips all over my cheeks. He'll kiss me forever and ever! I love that. I will NEVER tire of that!!

Enough of the sappy stuff.

We got to see Josh's cousin Kevin today. He was in town for a blood drive at Josh's school. He came right over and picked Brecken up from his stroller and Brecken loved every minute of it. We haven't seen Kevin since Christmas, I don't think!

Well, I better head to bed so I can get a tiny bit of sleep before Brecken decides to be hungry again. My goal tonight, while Josh was at his EMT class, was to get the laundry put away. Didn't happen. As the saying goes, "Why do today what will still be there tomorrow?" ;)
