2 Brothers Layne

I thought it might be fun to give all our readers a glimpse of the progress we've made in the last 5 and a half months. These first two pictures are Jonah and his stuffed animals during his first week of life. Here is Jonah tonight with the same animals! HUGE Difference! Here is a picture of me and Jonah at four weeks old. Here is Jonah tonight. Today was a good one for Jonah. No changes to report!

Only one real change today... how Jonah is being fed. The developmental specialist is concerned that Jonah's eating experience is not turning out to be as positive as it needs to be in order to convince him that eating is enjoyable. If he isn't sold on eating we'll be in trouble in a couple of months when his sucking reflex disappears (it does so in all babies around three months of age). So the plan is to accommodate Jonah's every eating whim. He will eat when he wants as much as he wants then we'll make up the difference during the night while he sleeps. The doctors would like to see him nipple at least 50% on his own during the day. We hope that this will be a successful venture for Jonah!
