Ho, Ho, Ho







Yesterday Pierce met Santa for the first time. Santa made the rounds to visit all the NICU babies. They are just great about this time of year. So far, Pierce has received a knitted cap, blanket, stocking and craft from volunteers. Very sweet! Today Pierce had a visit from his Grandma Maggy who arrived at meal time so was able to feed him. He is a very strong eater! In fact, we decided we should wake him up from his very long naps and have smaller feedings - otherwise he just devours it too fast! He has gained half of a pound since he was born! He loves having his hands close to him during his feedings and sleep. Amy just loves the photo above of his hands clenched while he is eating - it definitely takes a lot of concentration.
