On Demand Zac

With digital cable or satellite, we have something called "On Demand", which is pretty much pay-per-view for movies that have just gone to DVD and older ones, even, without having to go to the video store.

Today, Zac has become "on demand", though it's a little bit different. At this point, he has no real interest in purchasing movies through our satellite, but he does have a keen interest in eating. That eating has become, as of today, on demand. This means he gets to eat whenever he's hungry, rather than staying on the schedule up until now which has had him eat every three hours.

Katy and I had some errands to run this morning so we arrived here at 1pm today. Zac had eaten at 9, but they didn't bother trying to wake him up at noon to feed, instead letting him choose when to wake up. However, they won't let him go more than 4 hours at this point. So, he had just woken up and we changed him and now he's feeding from mom. In fact, he was so enthusiastic about it that Katy laughed out loud when he began because he was just so excited. Admittedly, it was pretty funny. This is a bit of a change, too, where he now knows exactly what to do with each kind of feeding.

Only thing he's battling right now is a bit of a possible infection in his right eye. Ever since he had his eye exam last week, that eye has been slightly irritated. He's getting some drainage right now, so it's likely they'll begin giving him some drops for that pretty soon. Meanwhile, we just continue wiping his eyes with a warm cloth, trying to make sure we keep the tear ducts clean. It'll clear up soon, I'm sure. It doesn't appear he had any Brady episodes last night, so that's good. Tonight, or maybe even yet this afternoon, Zac will get measured. We're curious to see if he's grown any since the last time we checked when he was 18 inches. More on that tomorrow, I suppose.

He's excited to see you and Abby again, too! Or, at least I'm excited you get to see him soon again. :)
