Last night was wonderful...
Yesterday Will proved to us that he could successfully drink from a bottle, a whopping 1.5 ounces of formula. Then last night he was very fussy and I couldn't get him to calm down he acted hungry but I wouldn't suffice so I thought of trying a bottle. I prepared a 4 ounce bottle turned on some lights and tried to feed him. At first he wanted nothing to do with the bottle then I sat him up and showed him the bottle. Less than a minute later he grabbed the bottle and began to drink. I could not stop smiling, I was so happy that he was finally drinking from the bottle, he drank 3 ounces last night and 3 more this morning. I would love to nurse him 3 times a day and have him take bottles just before bed time.
Another wonderful bit of news. Last night after Will drank those 3 ounces he slept for 3 hours and 58 minutes!!!!! I felt great when I woke up after those almost 4 hours. :) It may be Michael's Birthday today but it felt like mine last night. That was such a wonderful gift. I cannot tell you the last time he slept longer than three hours.

That's wonderful!! It wasn't until I stopped breastfeeding Lydia at 7 months that she slept through the night. She would be up every 3-4 hours before that and almost immediately after I started her on a bottle she started sleeping an entire 8 hours and has ever since! Hope he continues to sleep well for you. :)
