Here's the little guy without the feeding tube - I think he is mad about the girlie hat he has to wear all the time...
Also last night they had us bring in our carseat & the base so they could test him in it. I guess with pre-term babies there is a chance their airway could get cut off depending on the angle of the carseat (because they're so small) and/or if they aren't strong enough to hold their heads up a little bit. So they put him in the carseat for an hour and monitored his breathing, heart rate, etc. He was able to pass this test, so that brings us one step closer to being able to take him home!
Today we have gotten to keep him in our room since 7:30 a.m. with just a few interuptions. It has been great!
Here are a couple of pics from yesterday:

I love the picture with Josiah and Jason - it is precious. He looks so content sleeping in his daddy's arms. I also noticed he sleeps like his grandpa, one arm up and under his head. Sure hope that is not a sign of things to come...
We love you all and can't wait to see you on the 26th for a few days.
I think he is mad because his cheek is raw where they had the feeding tube taped. Hopefully he has seen the last of it! He's a sweetie. Hope to see him soon.

The 'caption' on Jason's hat is priceless. "Life is good" holding his new son.
