Evidence of My Stellar Hand Skills

Grabbing Monkey's leaf (notice the tongue; we've seen a lot of the tongue recently)...


Then I ran into the rings with my hand so thought I might as well grab on...

Hey, let's try to bring them closer...

Wow! Is this what hands are for? I like it!

By the way, Blake slept from 7:30pm until 5:30pm last night. He might have gone longer, but I was a little uncomfortable so I fed him. And selfishly, I'd rather give him a booster/early morning snack so that he sleeps until 8am rather than push it and try to get him to "wait" until 6:30am and have the day start then.

This is the 2nd night IN A ROW that Blake slept more than 8 hours. For some reason he keeps waking at 5:15/5:30am, a habit we will want to break him of soon enough, but for now I am just enjoying the longer nights' sleep.  But honestly, I know I will miss the late-night nursings when it is just me snuggling with the little boy.

His reflux has been great, despite even giving him one less dosage for the pass 2 days (I usually gave it during one of his late-night feedings, but he has slept through them). I am very encouraged. Either the Pepcid is working, or my milk-free diet is doing it. I'll kee off the milk and wait to see if he outgrows the Pepcid dosage or if he stays improved.
