Farts and burps

I never thought I'd be so excited about another person's flatulence and burping, but I sure am when it comes to our little man.  If it weren't for some periodic issues with gas we have a pretty mellow kid on our hands.  Austin is doing great at home and we haven't had much in the way of issues, developments, or changes to speak of since my last post.  As of Monday, he is up to a whopping 7 lbs, 9 oz and continues to make good progress with his feeds (duh). 

We've made a couple of journeys out into public since he's been home and managed fairly well.  It's a bit of challenge toting around a portable oxygen tank and the apnea monitor, but the two of us managed pretty well.  Austin met his pediatrician Dr. Oltman for his first checkup and to get a couple of shots.  We had a second road trip to visit the occupational therapist to have Austin fitted for hand splints.  He wears them a few hours a day to help straighten his fingers.  Beyond those excursions we've been holed up at home enjoying time with him before I go back to work. 

Here's a few recent pictures:

Dude, just feed me.

Grandma Jan, I just pooped myself.  Fix it.

Hanging out with Sydney, who is our friends' Ryan and Melissa's daughter.  So cute....she made sure to use hand sanitizer before she held him.
