Who has a baby that is on a schedule? Well of course he didn't want to go to bed last night and all night he was up crying and whining. I went in and gave him some ora gel for his gums and he went right back to sleep. For about 4o minutes. So then John goes in and tries to calm him down again and with no luck decides to bring Brandon in our room which is completely fine at 4 in the morning. Brandon doesn't want to sleep. Brandon wants to kick mommy in the tummy and make her miserable. He went to sleep for a while, but I was awake for hours it seemed. Sleeping about two feet away from the headboard and like a cat right up to the edge of the matress. I was paranoid that I would fall off and land on the stool I use to help me in bed. John would occasionally say "Lay down Brandon" when ever he would lift his head off his chest. Up and down they went attempting to let everyone get some sleep. I think they fell asleep in the recliner in Brandon's room for a while. Either that or I fell asleep for a little while. I finally gave up around "8:30" and got up and took a shower with him. He's wide awake. Last night we gave him his first cup of whole milk. He seemed to like it but I know he realizes it isn't formula. Even though officially he isn't a year until Wednesday I thought it would be alright if he started milk anyway. We had just run out of formula and I couldn't justify spending $14 more dollars on something that wasn't necessary.
Well Brandon and I are finishing our breakfast. Cheerios and milk I'm having tea and he had some apple juice. I need to go wake John up so he can shower and drive us to church!

I actually would prefer if we stayed on "daylight savings time" all year. I hate the time change, especially in the spring when we loose an hour of sleep.
You might try Brandon on soy milk, it is probably better for him than regular cow's milk. Goat milk is good as well, it is a lot richer tasting than cow's milk, but I like it better.
I usually buy the soy milk at Costco for about a dollar a quart; it comes in a twelve pack. The other nice thing about soy milk is that until it is open it does not need to be kept in the refrigerator.
Anyway, just something to think about.
We like soy too. The kids call it "soil" milk!
Zander thought it was weird that we had dinner tonight and it was still "daytime!"
