So this feeding the kid thing... frustrating. Doug and I were talking last night about how Roman is only taking half-hour naps. I re-read a section in the "Babywise" book about how to get good sleepers. It occurred to me, yet again, that maybe he's hungry. He gets a bottle and jar at 11 or 11:30 and is full. But then, we play for 2-3 hours, run errands, whatever. Perhaps he's needing a snack before nap.

So today at 2pm I thought, let's see what he eats. The list included: an entire sippy cup of juice/water, one whole graham cracker, a large jar of Squash, and a large jar of Banana/Strawberry fruit. Plus assorted Cheerios. In that order, no less. Damn! No wonder he wasn't sleeping, the poor boy was hungry!

This actually works out well. He went down for a nap at 2:45. And cross fingers, assuming he gets an hour or more, we can play when he gets up, cook dinner, and he can now start eating dinner with us.

Cross fingers.
