Tube Free, 5 lb Baby!

We hit some milestones in the past week--Weston became a real looking baby when his tube was taken out on Thursday AND he has packed on the pounds and is now above the 5 lb mark!  He is currently gaining about 2 oz a day and on full feeds plus some extra!
Here's what Weston's board looked like last Thursday--wahoo for 5 lbs, 1 oz!  

Ahh, we can now see both sides of his face!  Those red marks went away within a day.

Rocking the bottles!  He was told that he had to take a minimum of 46 mL each feeding and he has crushed that by taking an average of 50-55 each feeding and today took 70 mL three feedings in a row--can we say growth spurt?  

Happy Mom with a real baby!  :)

Funny-faced Weston!

See, BA Chalker, I do cry every now and then!

Proud Dad!

"What?!? You taking MY picture?"

Ugh!  Sleeping is such a rough way to spend most of my day!
