The First John Blog

Well, here we are, and we have several little bits of news.
First of all, perhaps the biggest news:
WE ARE FORMULA FREE!
As of Monday, August 13, John has had no bottles! We gave up the nighttime one a couple weeks ago, and this week we gave up the pre-bedtime one. This has been the hard one, but it's getting better. Since he already knows how to cry himself to sleep, it's not that bad for all of us!

Also, we seem to be past the rough, initial transition for daycare. Each day for this week, he has had a checkmark in the "Happy" slot on his "One's Daily Sheet." It's definitely great to know that he is getting a lot of fun stimulation there. He seems happier with life in general.

He is starting to really get into reading books now. He likes to read them on the changing table, while we do the diaper business. (Can't start that bathroom reading too early, I guess.) His favorite is "Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See," closely followed by "Pat the Bunny" and "Hippos Go Berzerk."

More soon!

soooo great that you feel his comfort with his care away from you - we were always grateful for that too. phew!
