Landon made it into a open crib today! At about 2:00 last night they transferred him into the open….and so far he has been holding his temperature like a pro. It will take him a couple of days to prove … Continue reading →

It’s hard to believe, but Landon is still 1345 grams. He is simply stalling on becoming 3 pounds. He must be burning more calories than we can imagine with all the bottle and breast feeding. We are hoping he will … Continue reading →

That’s right, the cool (or cruel depending on your perspective) preemie parents that we are, we dressed “The Don” for St. Patrick’s Day. He was such a hit, that some of the nurses want to take him out for a … Continue reading →

Today Landon is 1225 grams…just over 2 pounds 11 oz. According to the doctor, he is in the 10th percentile on premie growth charts. They are happy with his progess because he was always in the 10th percentile (even in … Continue reading →
