Not a Creature was stirring...not even a DOG?!

All was very quiet this afternoon at the Ruggiero house. Everyone, except myself, took a nap at the same time. You could hear a pin drop which is very strange for this household. As you can see from this picture it is obvious why she wasn't a fan of side sleeping. This is her favorite sleep position. She seems to be turning her head more too so that is good.


We tried two new types of bottles and we are back with the original AVENT as the others were way crummy compared to what we have. We bought a Nuby and she sucked like mad and not a drop came out. Jack cleaned it and he tried sucking on it and he couldn't get a thing out of it either...it was comical seeing Jack sucking on a light purple bottle - ummmm, do not bring this up to him please. lol. I guess you have to bite down to open the valve...thanks but next. Playtex has been making bottles for years so I thought I would try that one. The Playtex advance to be exact....crap. It leaks, I cannot shake it at all, parts are made of crummy plastic but she drank from it without an issue. Her last bottle was with the Avent and she took it just fine?! She drank 6.5 oz. without much fussing at all. Maybe she realized how lucky she has it with the AVENT system...hahaha. She went to bed at 9:30pm - actually put her to bed during a commercial of Grey's Anatomy and she slept until 9am!! She was very hungry and drank 7 oz. with three stops and re-latched without a problem. Her last bottle (12:30) was the same way...she took 7 oz. re-latched no problem. I have no idea why...but I will take it.
She sure was gabbing this morning - for two hours straight to be exact. She is making all sorts of new noises that are hilarious now. I think she is calling me in her own sort of way too. I was in the kitchen washing bottles and I could hear her talking and then it got loud....squeal...pause...squuuueallll...pause. In her way it was a mommy call. I came to the living room and she resumed babbling at a normal volume. I guess she wanted to talk to me about why she was a pain with her bottles yesterday. lol She is enjoying tummy time a lot more now. She is getting stronger by the day.
