August pictures

Here are some pictures from August. Brian has done a lot already this month! He hit 4 pounds, got out of his incubator into an open crib, ripped his feeding tube out, started eating his food out of a bottle, passed his carseat test, and now is going to come home on Tuesday! We are very excited to have him home with us. He will probably hit 5 pounds tomorrow (he was 4lbs. 15.9oz today- just .1oz off!). We are very grateful to all the doctors and nurses who have taken such good care of him.


Trying to stay awake before eating

Attempting to get a picture with his eyes open- he is always asleep or blinks from the lights

His cute premie nightgown and first day with no feeding tube (but his head was turned away)

We have to turn the lights down to get him to keep his eyes open

In an open crib!! And a picture of him in his cousin Daniel's old outfit


Pulling on his ear and his huge pacifier


Another attempt at getting his eyes open and his cute frog blanket from the hospital


Taking a nap with Mom


Snuggling with Dad

Sarah, all the pics are beautiful. I love the one of him napping w/Mamma...& then the one w/Daddy. He looks so tiny in Daddy's big protective arms...& so content w/both already wonderful parents. How exciting to be bringing him home! Your lives are forever changed in suxh a blessed exciting way! And, Sarah take Gingers advice on the sling or the Baby Bjorn or Moby Wrap. They really help her out. Love & Hugs,
Aunt Judy
