The DDB still sucks, but Aleksander's OK

[Guest guest]

I think things are going tons better this time. Aleksander is eating

like a pig - he had 7 ounces in one bottle yesterday, and 7 1/2 this

morning. Usually, he eats around 5 1/2 to 6 so this is a big jump.

(Perhaps we will start cereal next week)

AND, best of all, he slept for 8 hours last night without a peep. When

I checked his feet this morning, not only had the redness not gotten

worse, it is starting to fade. When I put the shoes back on him, he

didn't even frown, let alone cry. In fact, shortly after I put them

back on, he gave me a big gummy smile and a coo!

I knew once the shoes fit him properly, he would adjust very quickly.

He really is the most resiliant little guy. I'm constantly amazed by

how well he deals with all of these things. I think he deals with it

better than I do! I can learn a thing or two from my 4 month old....I

hate to admit it, and I'll never admit to him that I said that. It

would only come back to haunt me when he's 5 and thinks he knows

everything!

Thanks again for all of the helpful hints, and most of all the support

and 'listening.'
