5 Months!

Yes, he's five months old today. And, such a good day! We actually took him for a walk! The unit has a small pushchair, so we unplugged him from all machines, and walked down the corridor to the family room. Yes, our little family was actually together in the 'family' room!

We gave him a bottle there, which he started well on, but then got very tired and 'milk drunk'. We gavaged the rest of the feed then pushed him back to his spot. He seemed very tired, and his saturations were a little low, but it was a lovely moment.

In the late afternoon he was taken back to Level 2, back to our old bay, but now we're with the other two boys who have been here a long time. Max was also put onto 4-hourly feeds (75ml each), and we had a bath and a weigh (now = 3580g - finally over 3.5kg!). Very nice day.
