He was getting to the point of not being satisfied with a mere 32 ounces of milk...he wanted more, more, MORE!
Who am I trying to kid? He's been at the point of not being satisfied for a few weeks now.
As much as I tried to get him to listen to reason, he just wouldn't accept that he could not drink 7 ounces from the bottle every three hours like he wanted to. I tried showing him the chart that says to give no more than 32 ounces a day. It was right there in plain sight, but nope. I tried to convince him that his doctor visit was coming up, so he needed to just relax for another week.
He wasn't buying it.
He's a stubborn one, my Tank. He gets that from his father. Ahem.
Of course I did not have anything at home, so I loaded everyone up and headed off to Target. (I just want to add here that I took them all BY MYSELF. As in ALONE. With a headache! During the time they are usually

It is clear that he isn't exactly a fan of the new food...yet.
But he will be. My guess is that it will be sooner rather than later, too.
The best part is that when he was done, my boy slept! And didn't eat for 5 hours! (Do you know how freeing it is to have 5 hours in a row without holding a bottle?!?) And he managed to not beg for more when he hit 32 ounces of milk today.
Woooowhoooo!
