Things are going just so well. Ryan is eating and growing and maturing. He is now eating at least 2 ounces consistently with each bottle. He still gets 8 bottles a day. At night we have been letting him "call the shots", but he still wakes up every 3 hours most of the time. We've had a few nights where he gave me an extra hour of sleep. He is growing so fast. Just last night I put him in ANOTHER outfit that will have to go to the memory pile. Every time we turn around he is outgrowing another outfit. He is still wearing preemie clothes, and he will be for a while longer. We have a few 0-3 month outfits, and they look huge. We've been joking that those are his kindergarten clothes. We know, though, that he will grow fast and soon we'll be saying "well...on to the 3-6 month clothes". It's just so much fun. Yesterday he had 2 really good awake/alert times. He was awake and just looking around at his toys and in his mirror and at his hands. He tried to get his hands in his mouth. A couple of time he looked like he was going to "talk", and once he made a little cooing sound. We think he will soon be smiling willingly. God sure is an awesome God. I still can't believe he chose us for this....
