For Uncle Richie

Can you find the baby amongst (is that the right word?) all of the Steelers logos?
This was a little outfit and blanket that we bought for Jaden when we went to a Steeler game. Even though it's not football season he has to wear it now because it has no chance of fitting by opening game. This little guy is growing like a weed. I'm amazed at how much he is changing. You would think I'd get used to it by the 3rd child, but no. He has been pretty fussy lately and I've started to wonder if he is just plain hungry. He nurses all the time (at least it feels that way) and he pees and poops like crazy so, I know that he's getting plenty but it must just not be enough. Last night I gave him almost 4 ounces of formula after I nursed him and he actually slept almost 5 hours in a row!!! I kept waking up because I didn't know what to do with myself. He's been an around the clock eating machine. I'm starting to understand the mothers who succumb to giving their little guys cereal early. He seems to have slowed down today. He's been sleeping pretty good and eating "normally" (whatever that is). Maybe he's doing his growing now - don't babies grow when they sleep? I think I heard that somewhere. Or maybe he's just tired from all the fussing! Whatever the reason I'm just happy that he is calm and relaxed so the rest of us can relax too!

Watering the lawn...and the kids!
