Merry Christmas...

Merry Christmas to all. Christmas is a great time of year to reflect on the birth of baby Jesus and for us to reflect on the birth of our little miracle baby. Dylan is doing great!! Mommy was able to give him another bath today and he didn't even cry one bit, he loved it!! Daddy took pictures so we will post them tomorrow. The even bigger news is that yesterday on Christmas Eve, Dylan got moved into a crib!!!!!! This is great news and another milestone and we are one step closer to going home!! He is loving his new area and mom and dad really love it because we can be closer to him and much easier to change his diapers!! Dylan is weighing in at 4 pounds and 5 ounces now and eating 35 cc's of alternating breastmilk and preemie formula with iron. He is scheduled to have an eye exam this week, we have noticed that his eyes have turned to hazel color like his mom and dad. Dylan is awake a good amount of time now and today after his bath he was wide eyed just staring at himself in the mirror, it was very cute! He is still on a CPAP of 9 and the Dr. notified me today that they will probably go down on the CPAP again this week. Nothing much has changed with Dylan, we are loving every minute of him! We like not having much excitement, that is a very good day. Christmas in the hospital is something we definetly don't want to make a habit of but this year we have a lot to celebrate, being here with our healthy, growing baby boy, we can definetly deal with that. We brought Dylan's presents here for him to help open and we even thought the nurses deserved something for taking care of our precious boy today and being away from their families. We stuffed his stocking and added ornaments to his tree, our littly buddy is in the spirit with his own special preemie santa hat and blanket as well. So from our family to yours, we hope you have had a very Merry Christmas. We sure have and thanks to our families for understanding our new priority in life, being here with our baby and celebrating many things with him. We can't wait until next year when he will be running our house and opening presents on his own, that will definetly be something to smile about! Merry Christmas Dylan & Dalton and to everyone~
