Does a bottle really make a difference??

The simple answer is - YES!!!  So Peyton has never been a huge fan of getting her milk from a bottle but she eventually comes around to it just about every time.  And I will fully admit that I probably watch and worry too much about how much Peyton eats every day but I want to make sure she gets enough!  Usually she takes in between 7-15 ounces at school and then nurses in the morning and evening.  Well, on Wednesday, she only ate 3 ounces - in 10 HOURS!  Needless to say, I was pretty worried about her, but tried to remember it was only one day...In order to help the situation, I took a few different kinds of bottles to daycare this morning so that they could see if a different bottle would suit her fancy.  I called to check-in on her around 10 and she had already eaten 4 ounces - more than she had all day yesterday - this is a good start!  And then my phone rang around 12 - it was daycare - ought oh, things must not be going well, right?  Thank goodness, my initial thought was wrong.  Ms. Mary Ann was calling to tell me that Peyton ate 4 ounces without a second thought as soon as she woke up from her nap - YEAH!  Apparently, the Gerber Nuk bottle is the trick, at least for right now.  When we picked her up after work today, she had eaten 17 ounces - that's more than she has ever eaten in a day!!!  We're just very happy that she did better at school today and apparently had a good time playing as well.  She even talked to herself in the mirror we have on her crib and did a little flirting with little boy in her "class" while taking in some tummy time - too cute! :)  I guess I didn't have anything to worry about at all - hopefully tomorrow is just as good of a day!

And since I didn't post any pictures earlier this week, here are a couple from our visitors last weekend and of Peyton playing on her quilt in the evening.
