Noah is an eating machine. He eats on average 5oz a feeding, 10 feedings a day or 50 oz a day. One gallon is 120 oz. He is now switched over to formula. Each can of formula makes 190 oz of fluid. A can costs $20 dollars on sale with a coupon. So about 10.5 cents an oz, ( by the way gasoline is about 2.5 cents an oz) about 53 cents a bottle, $5.30 a day, $159 dollars a month, or about $1908 a year....that is if he only eats 5 oz each feeding. Last night at 4am he wanted 6. OH BOY!!! Anyway Noah continues to grow and grow. We are looking forward to the 12th of September when he can be measured and weighed at his checkup. Mom and Dad are really looking forward to the first sleep through the night. Right now you could set a watch to his stomach and feedings, about every 2.15 hours. For Noah it is not as if he has night and day "right" or Mixed Up, it is that he is on feed me now....OK I'll sleep now schedule. He really is quite funny to watch. Some times he goes from sound a sleep to the loudest baby cry in about 10 seconds when he is hungry. Other times he gives us about 2-3 min with warning signs such as chewing on hands and grunting. When he is awake he likes looking at contrasts and moving objects, he likes looking at Marta the black dog more the the Chessie (brown). Two days ago he was awake for 5 hours! We hoped it would have balanced out with his sleep afterward, but alas it was not to be. His stomach got the best of him. Here is a picture of him waking up wanting to be fed.
