So What's Been Keeping You Up At Night?

Drewey hit the 3-month mark a few days ago.  I've been holding out for that date.  It seems like 3 months was the magic date with Tess, when everything settled down and she actually started sleeping through the night.


Not so with Drewey.  In fact it seems that nights have gotten worse since he turned 3 months.  At night he's up every 3 hours and I'm growing tired of it.  Literally.


I don't know if he needs to eat more because he's going through a growth spurt, or what.  I've tried giving him more with each feeding, but he won't take anymore than his usual 4 ounces.


This kid is growing like a weed though!  He's over 14 lbs. and is well into size 6 mos clothing now.  Everyone comments about how big he is.  A mom at the gym had an infant about his size and she asked how old Drew was.  She was really surprised at Drew's age because her son was 6 mos old and not yet 14 lbs.


He's a very cute and sweet boy.  And a mighty hungry one too.  I just heard him crying.  Time to make another bottle!

He probably likes the attention.

pictures are adorable! Babies are always so much cuter without the soundtrack.

I'm sure you're right, Dad!

Oh ho! What a cute little man! None of my kids slept through the night (7 hours) until they were 12 months.

The third pic is my favorite! How could you mind waking up to a face like THAT? Kisses!

Let's see...4 ounces every 3 hours is only 32 ounces in 24 hours. Doesn't seem like the growing boy is asking too much! What you need to do is put him in his crib and train Tess to get up with him and give him his bottle. She likes boy babies, after all, and you would be training her to be a good mommy. All while you are sleeping! Thanks for the cute pics. Now we just need some of Tess!

Actually Tess has told me that baby brother does wake her up at night and that she has to come give him a bottle. She says this whenever I tell her I'm tired from feeding baby brother at night. She's not too sympathetic.

Sounds like he may be doubling up on feedings.

Ha ha! That's funny!

How nice that these beautiful children so grandly represent both the Higgs and the Murdocks! Tess looks more and more like Ryan and Drew looks more and more like Papa Murdock.
