Eatin'

Most of the time, when we have  checkup for James, and we ask a question about development and progress, the Doctor will preface his response with, "Well, as a parent and not a Doctor, I find/feel that..." and then he will assure us that anything James is not doing up to our standards is medically ok.

On our last visit, we mentioned James was still not sleeping through the night. It was a little disconcerting to have him respond, "Well speaking now as a Doctor and not a parent..." Basically James should have been sleeping through the night prior to that point. He suggested we give him rice cereal. His feeling was that if James could have something a bit heavier in his stomach before bedtime, he would probably sleep longer.

"He likes it! Hey Mikey!"

Most nights now, the little chunk sleeps from 8 or 9 through till approximately 5:33, which he seems to feel is the ideal time to be waking up. Approximately.
