A few funny things

I captured Elijah falling asleep while bouncing in his bouncer on the video camera. If only I could figure out how to download it. Anyway, super funny! I'm not saying he is kinda bouncing or swinging himself to sleep. I'm talking hard bouncing and then BAM nothing and he's asleep. That bouncer is by far the best investment we've made! Anyway, I worked all weekend and yesterday so today we are just laying around. Elijah has not been feeling well... we think he is teething and its really bothering him. Anyway, he woke up from his nap and played a little. Around noon he started whining and I thought he was getting hungry. I opened a new package of diapers (he's graduated to the 9 oz bottles) rinsed one out and made the formula. I sat down to feed him and he was just whining a lot and pulling at his ears. I thought his teeth must really be hurting. I read that when babies are teething they may refuse to eat from a bottle for a while b/c it hurts to suck. So I put some teethers in the freezer, gave him some to chew on, a little tylenol and let him play. In about 15 mins he was whining again. I decided to try a bottle again. This time he was really acting hungry, but would start crying when he started sucking. I felt so sorry for him that he was hurting so bad. I thought I would give him the formula in a sippy cup since it probably doesn't hurt as bad to suck from that. I got up, went to the kitchen. I wanted to do my own experiment. I know it doesn't take much effort to suck from the sippy cup ( you moms know you've drank from one too, don't judge)! However, I had never tried sucking on a bottle. I put it in my mouth and barely sucked ( I did not want to get a lot of formula, that stuff is gross). I wasn't getting anything so I sucked harder, still nothing. I thought, "man he does have to suck hard!" Then it hit me. I looked at the top of the bottle - no hole in the nipple! I switched out the nipple and Elijah sucked that bottle down in no time! Poor kid, his teeth had nothing to do with it. Now I need to go check the other new bottles for holes!
