Happy Sunday!  We're doing great out here.  Friday George stayed home with Jeff and me during the day.  Jeff has Fridays off now.  Long story.  Friday afternoon we took George to Mom's for a bath and then an overnight.  Jeff and I went to see a friend's band play their CD release party.  We had a VERY fun night and are SOOOOO lucky to have Mom here to watch George.

I would say he's consistently sleeping through the night, so that makes it easier for us AND for Mom when she's watching him.  He gets a bottle between 6 - 7 pm and then straight to bed.  Then we wake him between 10 - 11 pm for the last feeding and it's right back to bed.  He has been waking up between 6 - 7 am in the morning.   

This morning I went to get him up at 7 am to start our day.  If he eats much later than that it messes up the rest of the day.  When I went in today at 7 am he was wide awake and soooo happy.  It was very cute.  I got him up and changed him.  Usually during this, he's crying already - super hungry.  But not this morning.  He was smiling and gurgling on the table while I got him ready.

We started adding in some formula.  Right now he's getting 2 oz in two bottles a day.  We do one at the 10 am feeding and then the other at the 10 pm feeding.  That keeps him happy longer through the night I imagine, hence his 7 am happiness this morning.   We'll give that a few days and then add 2 oz to another feeding or two.  He doesn't seem to have an allergic reaction to it though, as we were afraid.  Today Jeff bought a BIG container of formula while he was at the store.  So, here comes the transition!
