Landon resting quietly
He also passed his car seat test which means he had to seat in his car seat for an hour with monitors on to make sure he can sit in it without any difficulties, whew. These are all steps that need to be done as he gets closer and closer to coming home. We're talking days now. In fact, we keep going in every day wondering if it'll be his last night in the NICU. Right now the Dr. needs to see a more stable weight gain from him (about 20-30 grams a night) and that he can maintain his temperature. They've added Neosure to his feedings (2 a day) to help to increase his calories since he's off of the human milk fortifier. We're getting really nervous and exciting for his homecoming. Lots of preparations the last couple of days! I'm guessing Grant is about 2 weeks behind or so. He just went to three feedings by bottle yesterday out of eight and is still weaning off the temperature from the isolette. Just needs to gain a little more weight to come out to an open crib like his brother.

Grant-ready to eat!
Overall both boys have been doing well this week. Still working on increasing the feeding sessions/gaining weight. They got their two month vaccinations over with and another eye exam that again just showed immature vessels. They'll be tested again in another two weeks.
Grant (L) & Landon (R) I wonder why Landon is holding his nose?!
Landon is up to 3lb14.8oz and Grant is 3lb10oz. Their cheeks are finally starting to fill out a little and I have to ward off the nurses from wanting to squeeze them! Looks like Landon's hair is continuing to be a "copper" color and I'm wondering if it's starting to get a curl to it even; with cute little strawberry blond eyelashes and Grant still has the spikey blond hair and blond long lashes.
