I got to hold him and feed him a bottle - Sweet Momma H fears that he is not getting enough nourishment from breast-feeding and thus is supplementing a bit. I am selfishly happy about this. I remember how it was with Big Bro Prince Tyger, who was absolutely fit as a fiddle with his breast-feeding but who was extremely reluctant to take to a bottle at all. Ever. That led to "Not the Momma!" moments that were painful for all to bear. Fortunately, in the end, Prince Tyger learned to Love the Bottle, but until then it was not an easy period, especially for those who were part-time caregivers.
But little Prince Attani just snuggled his way right into his Proud Grandmom's heart, took to the bottle with gusto and looked right at me while he was savoring his meal. He's growing like a weed, but is still relatively small, certainly much smaller than his younger cousin, Princess Jelly Bean, who has now moved into double digit pound weight. He also reminds me almost exactly of his Big Bro at the same age. For example, here is Prince Attani, around one month old, looking as if he is ready to join a punk rock group at any moment.
And here is Big Bro Prince Tyger at around the same age. Note the same punk rock do!
I really can't believe that this photo was taken more than two years ago! It's hard to believe that our precious Prince Tyger was ever that little! He is so "grown-up" now.
