Feeding:
Vinnie LOVES to eat. Although he struggles with MANY food allergies, he enjoys eating apples, pears, peaches, "chips", dried cranberries and many freeze dried fruits too!
Vinnie eats breakfast shortly after waking up. Breakfast may be veggie chips, 1/2 a piece of fresh fruit, a bowl of dried/freeze dried fruit (such as cranberries--his favorite), or a "squeezie" baby food pouch.
Vinnie is now eating 1/2 a hot dog (specialty for no allergies) for lunch. He might also eat some fruit or chips.
Vinnie eats an allergy free version of whatever we have for dinner. We make him plain chicken (grilled or fried in coconut oil) a lot.
He LOVES the fruit sorbet tubes that are like popsicles.
Sleep:
Vinnie goes to bed between 7:30-8:30.
He normally sleeps until at least 12:30 but sometimes sleeps through until 2 or 3:30. He likes to nurse for a few minutes when he wakes up until he falls back asleep.
Then he sleeps for another 3 hours or so & wakes up to nurse again.
Then he goes back to sleep (on the boob) and wakes up for the day around 6:30 am...sleeping in, means 7:15.
Vinnie still nurses and takes a morning nap, about 3 hours after he gets up.
He sometimes takes an afternoon nap when he nurses around 4 pm. He sometimes just nurses for a few minutes and is done. He can't decide if he needs 2 naps a day or not.
We plan to switch him to the toddler bed in the next week or two.

I'm going to get you (chase)

Vinnie is my sweet baby. He likes to snuggle and love on folks. He is a Daddy's boy, but Mama wins out if he is hungry or tired. Daddy can put Vinnie to sleep if he has recently nursed. Vinnie is very much still a baby and we love him just as he is!
