The begining of a New Year

So many things to come in the new year! Here are some updated pictures...
Al loves to cuddle with dad... or rather, Dad loves to cuddle with Al

He found his feet last week... and he doesnt mind a little toe lint

So cute, except for the drool..haha

We started using the door bouncy seat, but we are still trying to grasp the concept!

So little Al is getting so big! And too big to nurse, or so he thinks. He is not in to it anymore. The only time he wants to nurse is at night. Any other time he is so fussy and I end up getting so frustrated bc he only wants to nurse for 5 minutes before he gets distracted, leaving me to deal with a full milk supply! ouch. SO I am going to start dropping the day feedings. I am so torn by this. On one hand I am a dietitian and I know this is the best nutrition for my baby, but on the other hand he is making me so angry that I actually yelled at him today bc he wouldnt nurse. Seriously yelled and he started crying.. I felt horrible. I just cant do it anymore with work and pumping it is just becoming too much. But, I am still slightly sad eventhough I am only going to drop the day feedings. I feel like I am letting him down. But, I am also relieved... it is so much pressure to be the sole food source for your baby. Really.

To counter my guilt, I bought Full Circle Organic formula... we shall see how long this guilt trip lasts. It making me feel better for the time being. And, it is actually the same price as the othe name brand formulas.

He is also really trying to roll back over (front to back)the past couple of days. His arm is totally in his way though... so much so that he looks as if it might break off. It is really funny looking... I am going to try and get a picture before he figures out what to do with his arm. He gets so twisted up I dont even know how to help him! haha

Have a great week everyone!
