Where did the sleep go?

I am not sure what changed, but the past couple of nights, Brody has only made it until 3:00-3:30 am before he wakes up crying and wanting to be fed. When I first hear him cry, I try to hold him off but he is wide awake and is only happy once I feed him. I have noticed that his diaper is soooooo full when I go in there too so he must be peeing out all the formula he ate the night before. When I was talking to a co-worker, she said if he is doing that, I might want to start feeding him cereal because that should stay in his stomach and he should be satisfied for longer at night. When I took Brody for his 2 month checkup, his pediatrician suggested that I start feeding him cereal a couple of weeks before his 4 month appointment so I could let her know how things are going. I was going to hold off a little bit longer, but Ted and I are going to go today to get the cereal and I am going to start giving him some tomorrow. I am going to give it to him tomorrow morning and as long as he doesn't have any issues with it, I think I will start giving it to him before he gets his bottle before bed. His doctor told me to spoon feed, not to put it in the bottle so I am going to try that and see what happens. I think he is ready for it!

We did have an eventful tummy time this morning. He didn't stay on his tummy for long before getting unhappy, but I did get some cute pictures. Anthony, my nephew, stayed with me last night because he wanted to help with Baby Brody. He was helping me this morning keep him occupied. Here are a few pictures....

Christy is leaving tomorrow to go back to Chicago. :( I am sad about that. I am going to miss them alot. It was nice to have Brody hang out with his cousins and for us to do things as a family again. Missy was also in town until Wednesday of this week and it was nice to have everyone here. Here are a few more pictures...
