Hit me Baby One More Time

Yes, I love this song - as all the ladies at Ellie Stopulos/Kretschmer's bachelorette party know - but this time it's in reference to Alexander hitting down one more setting on his ventilator!! That's right, he is now an 8 on his settings - working it like a rock star. The doctor said this morning that in another week or so he will be able to start working on nursing. He is making great, steady strides and we couldn't be happier!

He also is gaining great weight - now up to 9 lbs! He's still very stout but the doctor said he will start to lengthen out as he ages; as long as his genes allow him to. 

Alexander is more alert when we are with him and is a very calm, happy baby. The nurses love him and think his is so chill. We hope he continues that behavior when he comes home.

Alexander holding Pete's ring - the same one that fit around his ankle when he was born.


His nurse changed out his feeding tube so we got a glimpse of his upper lip today!

Bath time with the big boy - our constant joy and reminder that life, no matter how hard, goes on!
