Fresh air, new pals, missing Gramma + milky nights

Mommy says the nice weather we've been having is 'unseasonable', whatever that means, but for me it means we get to for long walks down Church St. - woo hoo! I love my outside time (actually - I can't keep my eyes open during it, as soon as I get a whiff of fresh air I pass out in a coma-like sleep) but my parents still like to think I enjoy our walks.

After today's walk, my new pals Sara + Hillary came over to meet me. They are super rad! Sara brought me 2 beautiful books I can't wait to read, and both Hillary + Sara held me which was great. It's sometimes nice to take a break from Mom's or Dad's arms. I was very sad to learn that Sara is actually leaving Burlington for good this weekend - she is headed out of the country, to Costa Rica and Italy. Woah! Maybe next time she sees me she will share all her stories of international adventures.

Tonight was fun, but I must admit I'm a little sad because Gramma Bowers and Holly were supossed to be on their way out to visit me tonight, but Gramma came down with a nasty cold and had to call the trip off. Mommy is really bummed, she sooooo badly wanted me to see Gramma again and to meet Holly. Mom even called my pediatrician to see if there was some way Gramma could visit without putting me at risk of catching her cold, but nope...apparently my immune system is too immature until I'm about 8 weeks old, and I could even get a respitory infection - yikes! So, thanks Gramma for being honest about your cold. The three of us really miss you though + hope you guys can visit soon.

OK well I'm off to eat / poop / sleep. Oh did I mention that nighttime is the COOLEST now? I mean, nights were cool before when me + Mommy got up to eat a lot, but now they are wayyyy cooler because Daddy has started giving me a bottle of Mom's milk for my 3AM feeding! Mom + Dad were worried that the bottle might cause me some nipple confusion, but nope, not an issue with this gal. I take the bottle like a champ, and I still take the boob like a champ, too. Plus, I get to spend some quality time with Daddy, and Mommy gets some extra sleep (and BELIEVE me, we are all happier when Mommy is rested!). Now, let's just hope that tonight I don't barf up the entire 4.5 ounces right after my bottle like I did last night. Wish me luck!
