The Baby Who Hates Eating

Our day was beautifully low key. Brady was home, and we had breakfast in bed before getting the kids up. We made some plans, sort of, and took our time getting started with the day.

Once the kids were all fed, Brady took some paint outside and touched up the exterior paint around our front windows. Our realtor had mentioned a few things for us to do if we were looking for ways to improve the house, and some of them were repainting the window trim and the entrance deck. We won’t get to the deck this week, but at least some of the work has been done.

We opted to keep the kids up from their naps today, because Jerilee was coming for the evening, and we wanted the kids to fall asleep well, despite their excitement over her presence. It worked out, and after they ate their perogies and played with Auntie, it was bedtime, and they were ready. They tidied their toys, brushed their teeth, and went to bed pretty seamlessly. Rowan, on the other hand, wasn’t having anything. He wouldn’t eat, or stand, or lay down, or play, or anything. He wanted to sleep, but I really wanted him to eat first! He is my first baby who is pretty over having a bottle. I’m thinking I’ll be making formula in a sippy cup sooner than later, and jumping on the solid food bandwagon as well, because he DOES NOT like to drink and get all dozy. Its a huge pain. So he ate less than two ounces before we gave up and put him to sleep. He was down for about two hours before he woke up, just right ticked off, and STILL wouldn’t eat! You wouldn’t know by his 20 lbs body that he doesn’t like to eat. However, obviously he’s not wasting away.

Brady, Jerilee, and I watched some trashy tv and ate perogies and wings and cheesecake. It was a great evening 🙂 But I am now sleepy, and we have a good but big day ahead of us tomorrow!!! I’m so looking forward to it 🙂
