I think somebody is going through a growth spurt!
Either that or he's reverted back to his earlier days when getting up 2 -3 times a night to eat was the big 'in' thing to do.
For the last week, Matthew has been waking up multiple times in the night to eat. Once he's up, we just put him in the bed with us (because we're too tired to sit in the rocker in his room to feed him!). He'll take his bottle, fall back asleep for a few more hours, then back up again for more milk (rinse & repeat). We don't give him his bottle right away, we try to 'pat' him back to sleep and then if he is still very fussy or screaming, then we give him the bottle.
I'm hoping it's just a phase (aka growth spurt) and it too shall pass.
We were all sick earlier this week (mostly Steve and I, Matthew only had a slight fever) with the stomach bug. Matthew and I are better, but Steve is still not well. It's the worst when both parents are sick at the same time. Hats off to all the single parents out there!!
(That was always my favorite part of the new year celebrations!)
Have a great weekend!

Aww enjoy!!! Yes the growth spurts aren't always fun! But like you said, this will pass. So good luck with it, he'll be back to normal in no time, just a bit bigger!! He's so handsome
Okay, you need to tell us about the red envelopes and Chinese New Year. I want to know all about it. I am so curious!
It definitely sounds like you have a growing lad on your hands. Hopefully his spurt ends soon so you can get some much needed rest.
The EXACT same thing happened with CJ. And it lasted like, a month. Only the switch to whole milk stopped it. O.o
Good luck. ;)
I hope you all are feeling better! I also hope your sweet boy is sleeping better soon. I know that's hard on Daddy and Mommy. I would be interested to know more about the Chinese New Year. I really don't know anything about it. I hope you have a special time celebrating!
