During his 20th week...we went to New Orleans to visit my family. I was very busy doing photoshoots, so Barret was able to bond with Uncle Kevin & Uncle KP. He also spent allot of time with Aunt Sommer, Aunt Charbo, Granny, PawPaw, and of course, his YaYa (Aunt Amanda).
Uncle KP fed Barret a bottle, which was a first for him. Everyone was so proud of him! And Uncle Kevin gave him a nickname...Big'un. I think it suites! Uncle Kevin kept telling us that Barret was teething, and sure enough, I glanced in his mouth on Sunday, and he had his 2nd tooth all the way through!
On Saturday, there was a big UT vs. Tech game...and Barret was all set. I think he brought them luck...because they won!!
now that is some UT spirit!
These are Barret's 20 week photos. He found his lip during these photos...and refused to let it go!! This week we had a major milestone in Barret's life. He had 3 bottles of formula. It was a very difficult decision for me, but I have a trip coming up where I will be gone 6 days, and I just don't have enough milk stored up. I really did not want to do it, but I really don't have a choice. So we are going to supplement him during that time on formula. So, to prepare him for the change, we gave him a few bottles. Sadly, he hates it. He takes a mouthful, and then gags. It's very dramatic. But, if he is hungry enough, he will drink it.
I'm praying that I am still able to nurse him for a while yet. As much as I hated nursing him in the beginning, I love it equally as much now. I would be devastated if I had to quit now. And Barret certainly enjoys it more...you should just SEE the drama!
