Our sweet boy....

I am in love....

Sleepy little man....


He is definitely a Wall...

Yes he has a nasty little scratch under his right eye....

He is such a relaxed little guy.....

Gavin is doing awesome....his doctors said they are surprised that he is getting better so fast...which is very comforting to us. He is now off the cpap and just has high flow oxygen tubes on which they have turned down twice since he started them. He doesn't have to have the tube in his mouth, it has been moved to his nose...which trust me he doesn't mind half as much. He does have jaundice, but, they are keeping him under the lights all the time...so he too will come out of the hospital tanner than his mommy. They have stopped having to sedate him....its amazing how calm he is with everything he has been through....the only time he stirs is when its time to eat. Which by the way...the kid went from 11 ccs to 28 ccs in a day...its amazing. We are still only able to hold him for about 30 min at a time and last night was the first time he got to breast feed...definitely a lot better at that than Addie was. They checked his heart murmur last night and said it was almost undetectable and that is was normal....everything is looking up!!!! He is such a sweet little spirit we are so lucky to have him!!!!!! Dave said he can't wait till we can get him home and just let him lay with us....I can't wait to get him home to see him with his sister and just to rock him without time restraints....Again thank you so much everyone for all the support...I am sorry we haven't been in contact, we will get better I promise!!!!!

He is so handsome! What a cute little boy you have. Did the Downs Syndrome come back negative? I hope you are getting some rest. And congrats one the new little one!
