Update from Stephanie

Time continues to fly. We spent a week at the hospital trying to figure out why Nathan is in pain. No luck, but we found out he can have tylenol and morphine which control it pretty well without affecting his liver. Because of our hospital visit, we missed 3 appointments which we had to reschedule. The boys will be almost 5 months old before they have their 4 month checkup. I am anxious to see how much they weigh. Nathan weighed 9lbs 7oz and Jacen weighed 11lbs the last time they were weighed. We are staying busy with appointments, bloodwork, nurse visits, ECI, feedings, and playtime.

After Nathan being very fussy for quite a while, we are seeing the old Nathan again. He will sit in his swing and bouncy seat and look around. He slept in the hospital bed for 3 hours straight a few times. He slept in his swing today as well. Before the hospital visit he would only sleep on me. He smiled in the hospital!!!!!! Hopefully we can start bottling again this week. I also hope to start playtime and tummy time again soon

Jacen is still keeping us entertained with his smiles and "talking" to the toys. He is really enjoying tummy time now. He holds his head way up and rolls over from his tummy to his back when he is happy instead of mad. He is now trying to figure out how to roll from his back to his tummy. He is focusing more on his surroundings now. We have even put him in the Exersaucer. The first time, he had a very confused look on his face, but he liked it after that. He has definitely found his thumb now. He loves to "play" computer games with Daddy. The pediatrician said we can start cereal this month, so hopefully we can try that this weekend. We will take pictures!!!!!
