Walking and Eating

Great news from the hospital: Our boy WALKS and our boy EATS.

This morning Matthew decided to stand on his own two feet and explore the hospital wing. He charmed the pants off all the people in Giraffe 3.

Then just a few minutes ago, around 3pm, he finally decided to try the bottle and liked it. He ate 6 ounces of formula. Thank goodness. We can go home tonight, later, if he will drink another bottle around 5pm. So we're hoping he will so we can head on our merry way tonight.

Here are a couple shots. A big thank you to Nina, who came for six hours to sit with me today, and also to Tauni and Heather again, who are checking in on us and taking such good care of us.

His first steps down the hall.

  1. What good news!! How good it must feel to see him walking, playing on his tummy, and cuddling in your arms holding his bottle. Sweet boy.
