Full meal from a bottle!



Today's Accomplishments:


-- Alex drank a whole bottle of milk (47 cc) from the bottle! This is great news. Maybe he is ready to go home? I would guess the hospital wants him another week or 10 days, but this was great to see.

-- Also today, he had his most successful breast feeding ever. His energy level and focus seem to have gone up quite a bit.

-- Alex's weight was 5 lbs, 10 oz. But, we noticed that some of his weight gain (maybe an ounce) was a new security anklet that the hospital put on him.


-- We were at Swedish late into the evening. We left just before 10pm. Alex was very alert late in the evening. He was looking around, squirming, and making a lot of baby grunts and squeaks, especially after 8pm. He may be a night owl.
