This morning I gave Jayden a bottle with rice in it. I only gave him 1tbsp with 2oz of formula. I thought it would fill him up longer. Sleeping through the night is not a problem, the little one sleeps 10-11 hours a night. It is awesome LOL. So far it hasn't filled him up longer. He ended up drinking 5oz this morning when he woke up, with the rice added, and two hours later he was hungry again. He us a difficult eater sometimes. He eats a little bit at a time sometimes and others he pigs out and drinks a 6oz bottle. It makes judging the size of a bottle a bit difficult LOL.
After reading Jami's comment on my last post I am going to try actually feeding it to him with a spoon to see how he does. I may seem a bit anxious to jump the gun in reducing the dependency on formula, and honestly I am!! A month or two ago I had to switch from the similac soy formula, which I can buy in bulk
Well we did it. We went shopping for the first time by ourselves. Overall it was a great experience. Jayden was such a good kid. He was awake the whole time nut didn't fuss at all until the very end, but all I had to do was take him out of his car seat and hold him and he was happy again. I need a food sling to wear in those situations. I have a couple already, but they won't really work well until he grows a little bit bigger. The Eddie Bauer one I bought a few days ago is great it is just not quite tight enough. I don't feel like he is secure enough in the sling and that freaks me out a titch.
While we were out I picked up some rice and oatmeal to add to his bottle. I think it is time to add a little and see how he does. He is nearly 4-months now. That is usually the time when they say you can start giving the little one rice in the bottle. I hope he does well with it. With as much as he is eating now, we are going through formula so quick, and his formula isn't cheap!
I'll let you know how my little experiment goes :)

For the first time since my son was born, I am going to to shopping today alone with him. I generally put it off until my husband can to with me or at least I have someone to watch Jayden for a little bit. However, this fear of shopping alone with him has caused me to run out of a the necessities at home to be able to make dinner LOL. So today I am going to try to conquer my fear and take him out in the open all alone. I just hope that he behaves because that is where my fears stem. He is a great baby and I'm sure that he will be fine. I'll let you know if my fears are conquered after today.
For my birthday I also got an iPhone :) now I can blog from my phone!!
It has been a while since I have been able to post and so much has happened!! Jayden is getting so big. He is starting to laugh and he smiles all the time. He is just adorable and so much fun! We bought one of those overhead play gyms and he loves it. His favorite toys are the ones with the big eyes. It is so amazing to see him grow and develop. I can't wait for all of the changes to come. Motherhood is absolutely incredible.
Jayden on his 3-month birthday! Such a little stud!!
My happy family!
We had a small blessing for Jayden on my birthday in Logan. We only had immediate family present, but these pictures were taken that day. It was a really wonderful day!
