Who Knew?!

Who knew that all it would take to get Caleb to eat again was a Little Tykes picnic table?! Why didn't I think of this earlier? We brought it out for Isaac's party so the little kids could sit at it. Caleb has been sitting on it for every meal since and is actually eating again! YIPEEEE! He had his feeding clinic appt last week and he now weighs 24 pounds! He's on the growth chart for his real age now. I have no idea how he gained weight since he's been on an eating strike for 8 weeks. Actually I do know how...his stinking night time bottles that he loves so much. He still gets up at least 4-5 times a night for his bottles (and the team wants him to keep getting them until he eats better during the day). A couple weeks ago he was getting up 8 times in 10 hours! It was getting so bad that his doctor told us to give him melatonin to help him sleep. It didn't help his sleeping much and seemed to give him nightmares so we quit giving it to him. His ped wants him to have a sleep study to see if he has a sleep disorder, but we're not on board with that yet. We are very lucky that Isaac only gets up once at night! He has his 2 month appt this week and it sure will be interesting to see how much he weighs now. Some of his 3-6 month clothes are getting tight. He's consistently polishing off 5-6 oz bottles and drinks about 35-40 oz a day! It's so different having a baby that loves to eat. I am worried his doc is going to tell me that he's eating too much!
