Feeding Video

We've been videoing our attempt to get Carter to take the bottle nipple and thought I'd share a video so that you can see how frustrating it is. We're not even at the point of adding liquid--this is just trying to get him to tolerate the bottle nipple in his mouth. He's too smart for us and knows it's not his paci! We're about to throw the bottles from the roof of Duke and just go straight to solids.

Brad and I got to hear Carter giggle and laugh wildly for the first time last night. It was a whole body-shaking laugh. We tried to catch it on camera, but he likes the silver color of the camera, so as soon as he sees it, he stares at the camera and ignores us.

Here's a picture of me holding him--just to give you an idea of how BIG he's getting. He's so long it's hard for me to hold him. And the nurses have been remarking about his hair turning red. What do you think? Looks brown to me :)
