A good day gets even better

So today was a pretty good day.  Evan is having yet another growth spurt, he & I are trying to figure out just how much he wants to eat.  We tried 4-6 oz every 4-6 hours, a few weeks ago, but he was constantly spitting up so we had to cut back.  Then,  he was eating 4 oz every 3-4 hours and that was fine.  Now he's wanting  4 oz every 2-3 hours.  I don't mind that kind of schedule since I am at home with him during the day, but it has totally thrown off his sleeping schedule.  He was sleeping 5-6 hours every night and would wake up, eat,  and then go back to sleep.  Now he eats, and wants to stay up for a while, THEN go back to sleep.  Today I decided that since it seemed like he was hungry ALL THE TIME, it might be a good idea to try and give him a little bit more than 4 oz.  He a really happy guy after that.  He was awake and alert and was really having fun.  He even giggled at me and Aaron for the very first time!  He is amazing!  Anywho, he ate 6 oz  about 2 hours ago, and NO spit-up whatsoever! Yay.  Maybe we can keep this up and he will go back to sleeping through the night again.  That would be awful nice of him.  :)
