Bragging Rights

So it's begun. I've become one of those moms who likes to brag about her kid. But, really, I thought this to be particularly noteworthy.

In general, it's absolutely amazing what our little one has been able to accomplish in his first 10 days in our lives - I won't bore you with the details.

I've been nursing the little one, and have nicknamed him the Bottomless Pit (BP) since that's basically what he was during the pregnancy as well as after birth. BP couldn't get enough to eat - he acted like we were constantly starving him! Anyways, up to now, we've let him take a bottle 4 times in the 10 days since his birth - mostly to get his dad in on the fun of feeding him. Last bottle we gave him, Martin noticed milk was leaking out of the bottle - which obviously shouldn't be happening. Upon further investigation, we figured out that BP had figured out if he did something to the bottle nipple, it would allow air to enter and allow him to suck down the bottle contents faster. We know this because there was a beer chugging contest ( beer in baby bottles) at one of our baby showers and that's the method the winner used to dust the competition.

Anyways, our clever little BP figured this out all by himself in such little time. This bodes well for his drinking career - we are such proud parents! :-)
