Milk Drunk

We've noticed something consistent with each of our children and their eating habits ... Ember is no exception. It seems, that when a young child nurses, they eat and eat until they are full, or cannot ingest any more milk into their tiny bellies. This often results in a stage we like to call "milk drunk". Symptoms of "milk drunk" can be:
* milk dribbling out of the child's mouth upon finishing eating
* lethargic state
* passed out/sleeping baby
* red cheeks that are very soft and squishy, making them extremely kissable
* long, sweet sighs followed by soft baby gurgles
* and last, but not least, the "top off spit up", which entails a burp accompanied by varying amounts of white, chunky nastiness, sometimes loudly projectile, other times sneaky oozing (all of it: stinky!)

Below are some photos of various stages of "milk drunk" exhibited by Ember. Fun times.
