On Thursday Luca was transferred from Beth Israel Hospital down to South Shore Hospital which is only 5 minutes from us! It was a great day! Since then he's continued to make leaps and bounds in meeting his milestones in order to go home. They had been slowly turning down the heat in his isolette as he was more able to regulate his temperature, and today Luca graduated from his isolette to a crib! No more little capsule that he has to stay in to keep warm! yay! He also tried a bottle for the first time yesterday.... it was a dribbly mess but he managed to get enough milk in to impress the nurse for his first try. Soon he'll be a champ at sucking from a bottle and they can get rid of his feeding tube. He's also officially 4 grams over his birth weight, so he's managed to gain back the weight he's lost and he's on his way to getting beefed up.
Here's some photos of his first bottle feed
We truly are blessed with this little boy.... and we can't wait to bring him home!
In other news, it snowed all day today and we took advantage of our neighbor's little hill to see if Vince and Zoë would be compatible in a sled together. Well all I heard was giggling from the both of them as they were gliding down the hill together, so I think it was a success. This was Zoë's first real play time in the snow... and she really liked it! I can remember Vince at this age..... just standing in the snow and screaming/crying the whole time.
she had a lot to say about what the snow was like
