Ginny said that usually happens with the older babies so she was a

little surprised and boy was I worried. He had missed his morning

nap because of the timing of the appointment so I made him a bottle

and he drank the whole thing and fell asleep over my shoulder with

the band on. He has never fallen asleep like that so I had some

hope.

adjust it.

thinking about the next set of decorations!

Glad to hear the fitting went well and that he is adjusting quickly to

the band! I love your teddy bear decorations and he is such a cutie!

Are those dimples I see?

He is so adorable!

Good job - both of you!

The teddy bears are cute.

I'm so happy to hear that he is his same smiling giggling self.
