We tried to transition Jacob from formula to whole milk yesterday.  When he woke up in the morning I gave him a bottle of milk.  He took a couple of gulps and then started crying.  After calming him down and another couple of gulps, he cried some more. Finally I was able to get him to drink about 2/3 of the bottle.

In the afternoon I tried giving him another bottle and he screamed the whole time after taking his first sip.  He would not even let me get the nipple close to his mouth.  It reminded me of when he would not take the bottle when he was about 6 months old.  So I tried a sippy cup and all he did was play with it. He did manage to get a couple of drinks in and then red spots turned up all over his face, including on his eyes.  He definitely is having some type of reaction to dairy products.  So this morning, after our morning workout, we stopped at the store and got some Soy Milk.  He did alright with his first bottle, but apparently when Nani and Papa were watching him this evening, he would not take it from them.  AFter a lot of crying he managed to drink about 5 ounces from me when he got home.  This little one just does not do well with transition when it comes to liquids.  I am hoping he does better with the soy milk tomorrow.  It is definitely trying when he is so against drinking his milk.

Also today for the first time EVER, Jacob took a 3 hour nap. After about 2 hours I kept going in to check on him because the longest he's ever gone is 2 hours.  But he was sound asleep.  I guess he was up a little too late last night and didn't want to sleep in this morning, so he made up for it this afternoon. 

Well, we'll have to see how he does with the soy milk tomorrow...so until next time...mommy and daddy love you!
