Big baby

My baby is growing up! He started wearing size 1 diapers a few days ago and he also started taking in more milk during the day. He'd fall asleep for an hour after drinking 4 oz of milk and then he would wake up an hour later and ask for more. So far, I've been playing it safe and give him small amounts in increments of 0.5 oz. So far, the most he's taken during the day is 5 oz.

At night, his intake still ranges between 2.5 to 4 oz, depending on how sleepy he is. Frankly, I think he could drink more if I am more inclined to coax him into waking up but, frankly, an alert & active baby is the last thing I want in the middle of the night so I just let him be.

His coloring has lightened already, he's no longer *that* red in the face but I still cannot see if he has mine or his dad's skin. Hoping for him to inherit his Dad's good skin :)

I've noticed that he sleeps longer and more peacefully if he's in my arms. I guess he feels more secure and / or warmer and it makes him sleep better. I love the feeling. Mommy na mommy talaga.
