March 1

Alex is now 4 lb 4.4 oz (almost up to his birth weight) and is making steady progress. I have been introducing him to breast feeding while he gets his meal through the NG tube - he doesn't quite know how to breast feed yet, but at least he's getting an introduction. He usually plays around for 5 minutes and then falls asleep.

Here are close-ups of his fingers and toes. It seems to me that he has long, slender fingers (like me) and really long feet (like Mike).

  2. I just noticed today that Alex's little heel looks like a pin cushion. Ouch.
