Things continue to go well for our little one. They are starting to work on weaning his morphine. Hopefully that will go okay. He was a little fussy today but it seemed like normal baby fussy. He really settles down when he's held which is hard on me because it's making me want to be there 24-hours a day to hold him!

They are starting to try different things to make him gain weight. While it may seem like he's gained a lot since birth, and he has, it has still been less than what it should be. We've been stuck at 6-1/2 pounds or so for a long, long time. So hopefully these new techniques (increasing volume and calories) will help. They doctor did say that the Dinky sends his nutrients to the areas where he most needs them and that the reason his head is disproportionately large is that his brain is growing. He seems really smart to me so hopefully his scrawny little arms and legs will catch up!

We had a really special Father's Day yesterday. They had a brunch for the dads (moms, too!) and Martin got a t-shirt that says, "My Dad's a Winner". The most special gift we got was that gummy smile that we showed you. We also wanted to share these other pictures with you. It was a great day.
