Look how cute little Benny looks in clothes! A sweet mom donated these with snaps where the shoulder seams were so you can pull the whole front down and get to his wires, tubes, etc. This was the first time he has been in real clothes and I think he looks adorable. Also this was the first time I held him vertically (now that a lot of his heart lines are out we are able to) and I got to pat his bum for the first time too. I loved it, as you can tell. The last picture is of Ben's toes because they are really special to me. A lot of times since he was born he has had his fingers taped up in IV dressings and other stuff all over his body so when he would cry I would hold his toes (because sometimes that was the only skin you could get to) and he would curl them around my finger. Sometimes when he wants me to touch him he will stretch and separate his toes and I will grab them and squeeze them and he calms right down. It is cute and just a little silly thing between he and I but it makes me feel loved and I hope it does for him too.

So glad to see he's doing well! We pray that the progress continues and that you can bring him home soon!
He's ADORABLE and I love his cute little feet.
Ang, he does look so cute in his clothes. I'm so happy he's doing well and that you finally got to hold him like that, it's about time! I think he looks like Aimee. That is so cool about the Jazz game. People are so kind and thoughtful. I'm glad you guys had some fun and were able to take a small, but well deserved break!
He looks so cute in his little man clothes. That is so sweet about you holding his feet. What a good mom you are! Also I am so glad that you and Cody got to have a date night, I am sure you needed it.
Oh what a miracle. Wow, that is so great and he looks so good. And how fun for you to finally hold him and not be worried about all the stuff around him. And how awesome for the hospital staff to pick you and Cody. I bet it was so needed and fun to get away and be together. I am glad things are going well. Any news on when he can come home? Did you get my last email back to you? I have a gift and want to bring a freezer meal.
He looks so cute in cloths! I am sure it is fun to see these little milestones (aka: Miracles!). Next stop: HOME, I am sure of it! Can't wait!
I'm so glad to see that you finally got to hold him up and rub his bum...I know how much you love rubbing babies' bums! and I love the binki shot-they're always so cute!
