March 13: Big Day!

Yesterday was a big day. Auntie Shell finally got the chance to hold Ethan. And he didn't disappoint. He was awake and smiling through most of the hold. The smiling may have been from what he was working on...there were a few vibrations coming from his little butt, but whatever, it was cute either way.
He is now up to 3lbs 11 oz. His feeds are going up to 28ml today and he's doing great without his cannula. His respitory rate has been running a little high, but that should drop as he gets bigger and stronger. The best thing is that he is having very little brady's at this point. He truly has hit another level. And can I mention that he's so cute I can't stand it????
Jon or I will post more after today's visit. Gotta run!

  5. What a little hottie! I love picture #8 from March 12. He's growing so fast! I think he heard about the chainsaw waiting for him at home and he can't wait to get there!

  7. He is looking great, what a big boy. He has a sweet, thoughtful look on his face. Take lots of pictures because when he's two, he will run and scream and stick his tongue out at you. Something to look forward to... Can't wait to see him this summer.
