Today the nurses in the NICU gave Bryson his first bottle. I'm 'not sure if it was soy formula or breast milk. He did pretty well this morning and drank quite a bit of his bottle. He seemed surprised when something came out of his "passie." Not all that came out went into his tummy but he did pretty good for his first try. Then this afternoon I got to take Courtney back to see Bryson and the nurse tried again to bottle feed him. He didn't do as well as he did in the morning, but did attempt a little. He got so sleepy she had to finish up with his feeding tube. The nurse said they would probably only try to bottle feed him once a day for now. He is gaining about an ounce a day. He now weighs 3 lbs and 11 oz and is starting to fill out a little. Here is a little video we shot from my RCA Small Wonder that I won last year at Kevin's dad's birthday party. It comes in handy. Hopefully we'll post more video as Bryson continues to grow.
