The Schedule...dum dum dummmm

I almost completely forgot to update about our little schedule debacle. We have discovered that we just can't let Matthew cry it out. We just can't. It inevitably turns into hysterics and then I cry and Michael just can't take it anymore. So, we never really tried it again to completely honest. We did, however, discover that Matthew's molars are coming in. Oh joy. So therein lies our problem. Now we are giving him the proper amount of infant Tylenol (before we were giving him way to little and I'm sure now that it had absolutely no effect) and he has been going to bed earlier and earlier. We have also discovered that our little chunky monkey loves to eat and can eat A LOT. Well duh you say. Ok so we knew this but we still felt like we were giving him the proper portions and not over feeding him. I am absolutely terrified of teaching my child to stuff himself and thus helping him become obese in adulthood or *gasp* in childhood. Anyway, my darling husband has been basically doing nearly everything since Friday to give me bit of a birthday break and decided to just feed Matthew until he couldn't/wouldn't eat anymore. He did this all day. Lo and behold our little man fell asleep at a decent hour and stayed asleep for over 8 hours. Who would have thought? Now I'm feeling terribly guilty that I haven't been feeding my son enough. Oh well, live and learn. Now we are giving him more healthy foods to eat and we are all sleeping a little better.
