Setbacks?
So mama and baby had been in a pretty good breastfeeding cycle for a few weeks now. Every 3 hours or so, he would eat. And eat for a good little while. One breast, two breasts, three breasts (???). Whatever. You put a breast in front of him, its in his mouth.
Well for the last few days, Vince decided that routine was a little too comfortable for mama and me. Instead he decided it would be more fun to eat for 2 minutes, stop eating, and then WAIL at the top of his lungs. Requiring mama to console him for a bit, before trying to nurse again. Hopefully, its nothing and he goes back to the old cycle soon. We still love him.
In other news, we took Vince to his first birthday party. Josh Tia celebrated his 6th birthday at "Incredible Pizza" in Sugarland. We were a little nervous about how Vince would handle the noise, kids, and limitless choices on the Pizza buffet. Somehow he slept for the whole 2 hrs. Giving papa a chance to hustle some 5 yr olds out of their prize tickets on the pop-a-shot machine. (what kid? what? you gonna cry? You don't want none of this)
Oh and Vince had a nice big present waiting for us in his diaper when we got home. I'll spare you the picture.

But I think the most important thing that's happened over the last few days is that he can concentrate his vision on things a little better now. Some things catch his attention more than other things. And its even better when he cracks that little toothless smile when he looks at stuff. He loves gazing at the mobile over his swing, papa sticking his tongue out at him, breasts, and the 2006 Rose Bowl on DVD presented by ABC (ok that last one may be a bit fabricated, but I know he's wondering why I'm holding out on him). He hasn't quite made the eye-contact-with-parent-and-smile smile yet. That's the one we're waiting for.
Here's Vince checking out the mobile in his crib. Catchy tune.
