Of course Timmy picked this week, most precisely yesterday, to decide he DID. NOT. WANT. the bottle. Nevermind that he has drank from a bottle since he was a week old. Nevermind that he has happily ingested cold formula before. Nevermind that he has never refused food in any form whatsoever. Yesterday morning he would only nurse. So it turned out that he went from 3am until 4pm without eating. He was irritable, tugging at his ears and had green gunk in his eye, so we thought maybe he had an ear infection or something. Instead of having BBQ, champagne and cake at my place with all my family, we went to the pediatrician. Where OF COURSE he was happy and giggling for everyone. No ear infection. He was just FINE.
Our new babysitter starts on Wednesday and I'm not sure what to tell her about feeding him. We're trying to give him a bottle more often but at what point do I need to just give in and nurse? Even though he used to take a bottle just fine from me, I have left the room so PJO could give it to him and he still won't take it. Is it too early to just start feeding him steak or whatever we're eating, because I'm pretty sure he would eat that.

Congratulations on graduating!
I wonder if Timmy could be teething. A lot of times that causes food rejection of one kind or another for a few days.
i was going to echo what Hanah said about teething. I've heard that when baby's teeth sometimes eating hurts their gums. Jacob is teething right now and it's awful...he cries every second that he is not being held.
But congrats on graduating- feels odd doesn't it- like you should register for next semester :)
Congratulations!! That's a great picture of your little family!
