He decided that he wasn't a bottle baby a while ago...actually, he decided that he wouldn't take a bottle on the day that I was out for 8 hours on a girls-day-out wine tasting event. He grudgingly took a couple ounces the entire time. Since then he has taken NO bottles.
To top that off, Bryan's magic Daddy Power doesn't work on him. Both other boys could be magically lulled to sleep in his arms. Not Gavin. Oh no. Tonight I left for 2 hours to go see Angelle's new baby boy (welcome to the world, Adam!), and when I came home, Bryan was ready for a shot of Tequila and Gavin was screaming in his crib.
Now, there is a teensy bit of total elation knowing that I am the only one in the whole world that can make this baby boy happy (he will magically quiet down as soon as I hold him- literally. It is kind of funny)...but at the same time, um, hello? I have to leave him behind sometimes! Not to mention, Bryan feels totally inadequate watching him.
I liken it to when I had to leave my 4th grade class when I went on maternity leave for Ian. They were my best class ever. But they almost *ALMOST* ran the sub off. I actually had to come in, on my leave, to yell at them. I feel like that. He's a good kid, really. He is just a holy terror, whiny mama's boy when I am not around.

That is a double-edged sword, isn't it? You LOVE cuddling home and knowing you can soothe him, BUT you really need to be able to leave him for a little while here and there. Good thing he is the cutest.
Gaga is willing to try, as long as you don't leave your cell phone at home like last time! Need a night out?
I could come baaaack :) I could get him to sleep anyway. But the bottle things a real problem. Maybe you should try one of the those nipples that look like a real nipple. Or find one shaped like his Paci! Love ya~Mom
