Big Boy

This has been a good couple of days for Rohen. He graduated to a big boy bed (AKA a clear plastic box on a rolling cart) because he no longer needs to have his tempature mantained by the warmer. This new bed is more like a crib, and he still looks so sound while he sleeps. We are still working on the feeding aspect, but I'm proud to say that he finished his first full bottle this morning! That was wonderful for me to see. Now I just need to get him to do that every time. I feel like I'm the coach and he's the player. I give him the game plan, and I tell him "just half an oz more...you can do it, you can do it!!". I think he likes the pep talk :)
He is growing before our eyes. He's been gaining weight and is up to 6lbs 10 oz, which is 9 more than his birth weight. He's still a little guy though. All of his clothes are so big for him, but we make them work. I can't wait for you all to meet him. He is such a good baby, and when he wakes up and stares up at me it makes my day so much better. I love him so much!
