Thank you for your suggestions on the pacifiers. I have several different kinds... I'm waiting to see which one he takes to before I stock up. He really likes the NUK but can't keep it in. I don't think I have any of the Avent... I'll have to pick one up.

Last night Milo slept from 7:30pm-9:00am. Of course he woke up for feedings, but that was the length of his night time sleeping. He had been going down between 9-10, but he absolutely passed out at 7:30 in my arms. I held him thinking he would wake up in 20-30 minutes. He didn't. Finally at 9:00 I laid him in his bed... and he was out for the count. I didn't even have his night time diaper on or even his pjs. I did at least have a clean onsie on him. Tonight it took a bit more work to get him down. And by work I mean nursing. He had been going 2-3 hours between feedings, finally. But within the past 48 hours he's been back to every hour or hour and a half! This kid is wearing me out... so tonight he nursed on both sides three times over the course of probably an hour. Usually after I feed him on both sides he'll take his pacifier and fall asleep... not tonight. He wanted the real deal. I just hope he sleeps another 7 hours tonight so I can have a break from nursing. It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't clamping and cutting off the circulation each time. But he is now resting peacefully.

I pulled out the first time, over protective mother hat today. We were at the Farmers Market, Milo in the Moby facing outwards. A lady stepped in front of me and started touching Milo... his face and his hands! I think I have been pretty good about not freaking out about people holding him (when its someone I know.) But this lady just stepped in front of me and started touching my baby. Now I know she was nice and maybe just not aware that not everyone wants a stranger putting their hands all over their baby. But I did NOT like that. I tried to separate us as quickly as possibly without coming off as a jerk. For the first time, I used my natural hand cleaner on Milo's hands when we got to the car.

Milo is getting close to rolling over on the floor from his back to his tummy. He just gets so mad and frustrated so quickly. The bed definitely made it easier the first time around. I also took the blankets that I had for padding out of his crib. He's just too close to rolling at this point. And his Moro reflex is really almost gone which is why I had the blankets in his crib in the first place.

Our diet is going well. We made it a week. And this morning I put on a pair of capri pants that I was not able to button a couple weeks ago. I imagine its a combination of the diet and my body still easing back to 'normal.'

Baby's awake.
