Mmmmmmmm....

The patient look prior to getting his bottle.......

......and the look of total contentment once he has finished it!

Once Spencer came home from the hospital, it took him a few days to get his days and nights figured out. Once he had that under control though, his eating habits have been very consistent. He is staying awake for longer periods of time during the day now but he still likes to enjoy a nice meal about every 2 to 3 hours. Since Mommy expresses his meals - she, Daddy (or anyone else for that matter) feeds him with a bottle. The volume he eats, give or take an ounce here or there, has been averaging 5 ounces at a sitting. Since he wakes up during his last evening diaper change for the day (which comes around 10pm), he has a last bottle for the day at that time too. With clean drawers and a full tummy, he falls right back to sleep and he doesn't usually wake up to request another bottle until between 3-4 am! Once he has polished that off - and assuming that Mommy or Daddy have properly burped him, he drifts right back to sleep and is out like a light until his tummy wakes him up around 7am. I know what you are thinking; "Spencer's parents don't deserve having TWO fabulous night sleeping babies in a row!" And, even though you are probably right, they certainly are thankful that they have them!
