Eric spent his first Easter with my family! We went to my cousin's house for dinner. The kids (minus Eric) had a quick egg hunt, a mad dash to see how much chocolate each kid could score. Eric, obviously, didn't do much besides eat, sleep, and be cute. :)

Poor Eric had to receive five vaccines today, and he's had a tough go of it. He cried off and on 7:30 p.m.-9:00 p.m., but he's finally asleep.

Last night, Eric slept from 9:00 p.m. until 4:45 a.m.! Initially, it would seem I also got a lot of uninterrupted sleep, but don't be deceived. I was constantly waking up at the slightest noise, waiting in the dark for Eric to fidget. He ended up just sleeping through the night. Hopefully, this is the start of something good. :)

Today we visited an otolaryngologist to correct Eric's tongue tie (ankyloglossia). Dr. Bhatti recommended we have it corrected right in the office. It was a fairly simple procedure (from an observer's standpoint): clamp on the frenulum, snip with scissors. Of course, Eric cried, as I imagine it must have been painful without any anesthesia. Dr. Bhatti said letting him breastfeed would help the blood clot and put pressure on the wound. To my surprise, Eric actually latched on after a few minutes of anguished crying. He eventually fell asleep. When we got home, he was hungry so we tried breastfeeding again. He kept getting frustrated because he wasn't getting the steady flow of milk he was used to, but he kept at it for about ten minutes. He finally gave up and started to cry because he was hungry. I'm not too worried about the breastfeeding, but I'm glad he has full mobility in his tongue now.
