Here is the fussy face This is the angel we are blessed to have for the next few days. This is one of his finest moments , asleep in his carseat nicely lined with a soft blanket. Tabor is a fine baby. I am enjoying his increasing interest in socializing and interacting. He smiles daily and looks at me as if I am the most beautiful woman in the world. I think he likens me to his mom. He certainly misses her. I know that for sure when I hold him because he roots and even sucks my arm whether he is hungry or not. He is taking his bottle well. I have started to give him some Enfamil Gentlease instead of breastmilk because I can tell that we are going to run out eventually even with the extra EBM from Aunt Sarah's generous donation. He is tolerating all the milk just fine. He spits up with every burp anyway. He did have a large spit up after some formula last night, but he fell asleep after that and slept 4 hours. He is good at night waking only twice, drinking his milk and going back to sleep with grunting and wriggling just as his momma said. I think he does better in his carseat, but he is down for a nap right now in the bassinet. We are having fun with the baby. Kemper got a chance to give him a bottle and I took some pictures. Holly refuses to feed the baby but asks a lot of questions about his care or tells me specifically what I should be doing for him. We bathed him yesterday and he loved it. I poured water on his head since his mom said he liked it and he sure did. I got lots of cooing and smiling during bathtime. We may have to bathe him everyday for more fun. My friend, Julie, brought me an exersaucer and Tabor really liked being upright propped in it. He did some cooing and looking around, but he grew tired quickly. He seems to want 100-120cc per feed. I burp him frequently and he spits most of the time, but not a lot. He is pooping and peeing great. He eats every 2-5 hours depending on how long he sleeps. I think he is working his way into a nice schedule. He won't let me put him in the snuggly like he does with mom. He just fusses and fights so I quit trying. Maybe it is because the nice supportive cushiony chest he is use to is not there. LOL. I love this precious child and will post more pics as they become available.
