Today I gave Hunter a bottle. This was the first bottle I got to feed him! Then I heard his first burp! I know it may not sound like a very big deal, but to me it is huge! Since he has been in the NICU Ryan and I have learned to cherish the little things ... his little smiles, his sweet sounds and all of his firsts! 
Monday, October 5th, Hunter turned 2 weeks old. He is up to 2 bottle feeds a day, the rest are still given through his feeding tube. He is now 4lb 5oz and 18 inches long. We am so thankful he is progressing! Right now he is working on regulating his body temperature. Once he is able to do that on his own he will be in an open crib. Ryan and I are both looking forward to that day!
What a precious little boy. He is getting stronger everyday.
