Allie Hits A Milestone!

Allie hit a big milestone tonight...she's officially 4 pounds! She has been gaining weight like a champ and Mommy and Daddy are so proud of her. She has even outgrown one of the sleepers at the hospital, which we couldn't believe! Her little arms, legs, cheeks, and tummy are filling out.

Allie keeps reminding us that she is bigger than she looks as she is doing well with her bottle feedings. We are feeding her by bottle every time and she is starting to get the hang of it. Mommy and Daddy are hopeful that by next week she will have the hang of bottle feeding and will be able to get her feeding tube removed as it's making her nose a little stuffy!

The nurses think Daddy is doing very well with Allie. They have made numerous comments on how well he handles her and takes charge in doing her feedings, diapers, and temperature. We knew he'd be a great Daddy! Allie is even on her best behavior when Daddy comes to visit after work...she knows who she needs to impress!

Here are a few pictures from the past few days:


Allie's just so precious! Her cheeks are really filling out!


Allie is a little too 'lady-like' with her burping...it's hard to get anything out of her! We told her that this is one time in her life that we can throw out the manners.


Our little peanut!
