Alex has gained 1 pound

Updates:
-- Alex has gained 1 pound since his birth 16 days ago. His weight gain is speeding up and he is now close to 2 oz. per day. You can see his weight at 5 lbs., 11.9 oz. in the photo below.


-- Alex practiced more bottle feeding with Mom and Grandma in the morning and Dad in the evening. He is doing great, but both times he ran out of gas before finishing the "meal", the amount of milk his doctors want him to take every 3 hours. But, he is still doing great with the suckling. Suckling can be a lot of work.


-- His right eyelid is irritated again and it looks like he has been rubbing his eye. We are swaddling him a little more tightly to constrain his arms a little bit until it goes away.
