Our first day alone

So after having Caleb home for 6 weeks (yes that's right he didn't work for 6 weeks.... how, you ask? 2 weeks of R & R after returning from deployment, 2 weeks of "baby watch" as we approached my due date and then 2 weeks of paternity leave after Clark was born. The Air Force has it's advantages) Anyway, after having Caleb home for 6 weeks, which was amazing.... he had to return to work today and Clark and I were alone for the first time. Day didn't go so great. Due to a battle to get Clark to gain weight we were giving him formula after each breast-feeding. Well, since he's been slowly gaining weight (up to 7 lbs now) the Dr. says we can give him formula after every other feeding now. Well, while it's still frustrating to me to give him any formula at all..... I thought it was fair to just do every other feeding for a while. Clark evidently hates that idea. He got used to the full feeding and then a bottle for dessert. So our first day alone he's been expecting that bottle after each feeding and then gets frustrated & screams when he doesn't get it. Needless to say Mommy will be very happy when we can get this little formula addict off that stuff for good.

Our little formula addict wants bottles after each feeding! Lets hope he can keep this weight on so we can ditch the bottle for good!
