DADDY'S HELD DEECON FOR THE FIRST TIME

Daddy was so excited, he was finally able to hold Deecon like a real baby. It is so special to be able to do this. Daddy was able to look his son in his face and talk with him. Deecon has been looking around and has been more observant, as well as has been showing more facial expressions. It is so precious to hold him and listen to his cooing sounds. It's simply priceless. While holding him we are able to touch him and kiss him which is such a great feeling. His ears are beginning to gain more cartilage and take shape. He definatley has his Daddy's ears:) Next Daddy was able to give him a bath. This time Deecon's face was simply adorable. He frowned at his Daddy for the first time, but soon fell into his hands and loved his bath as usual. We love bath time too because we have his full attention and he is always nice and awake and aware. It is also an opportunity to see his cute naked face. :) Every bath day is an opportunity to weigh him, he has been doing so well with his feeds and therefore packing on the pounds. As Daddy would say What a fatso and Aunt Tissy calls him a little piggy:) He is now an outstanding 3 pounds 10oz.. :) They have now changed his feeding schedule to what they call Bolus feeds. This means they are feeding him three hours of feed over a two hour time frame, which is 29cc's every two hours. He is tolerating his feeds very well, what a good boy.. Mommy and Daddy are so proud of him. xoxo
