I slept thro most of the day, just breaking for feeds
I am now the official center of attraction in the home
Learned to kick myself off moms hand with my feet
Grandma wants to keep me spic n span, so got another spunge bath

Slept thro better part of the night: 1-4am
Actually I am getting too used to bottle now, so I cry like crazy when mom attempts to feed me.
Oh I emptied 8oz formula in last 14 hrs, breast milk is just not enough for me !
