Bailey, Bailey, you have fooled us, your parent newbies. We had your 6-month check-up a couple of weeks ago. You were still waking up in the middle of the night to eat about 6 ounces of formula. Your doctor (not to mention your Nana and Tia Julie) said that you should be sleeping through the night. Dr. H gave us a plan to decrease the amount you eat at night by an ounce every few nights. Well, I think you heard your doctor, because beginning that night you slept through the night! Don't get me wrong, girl, you still woke up. We just gave you your binki instead of feeding you! And you did great. You went right back to sleep. So, just like that you were "sleeping through the night" after quitting cold turkey. I guess as new parents we just didn't know how you would be weaned. We haven't had to feed you for 2 weeks straight. But let me tell you, you sure do wake up hungry in the morning! One of my favorite parts of my day is walking into your room in the morning and saying "Good Morning Bailey," and watching you twist your head and search for my voice and smile as big as you can. I love you Bailey!
Mama
