Mike got to feed him for the first time today! He is such a proud father...you can just see it in his eyes when he looks at him... he did such a great job at feeding him, he was calm as can be and Grant loved it! I LOVE THEM!

6 weeks in the NICU!!!
WOW!! it has been 6 long weeks in the NICU! Grant is doing so wonderful...finally!!! They moved him from his isolate today and into a BIG BOY crib!! He is able to be in a crib now because he was able to regulate his own temperature for 2 whole days!! He has also accomplished feeding from a bottle...this is a HUGE step for him! He is now getting 35cc and is able to eat most of it all by himself, sometimes he is too worn out and they give the rest through his feeding tube. We are so happy that he is doing so well and know that he is that much closer to coming home! We think it will be another 3 weeks before he is strong enough to come home but we cant wait and couldn't be more proud of the progress he's made! He is so strong and we love him so so much! The nurses and doctors have all been amazing and we are so thankful to them all!!
