Interesting Fact

When you read this you will probably think that only two crazy engineers would calculate how much Mason has been "drinking" so far through his feeding tube since he has been home (about 3 and 1/2 weeks). Tonight we calculated (with the help of our feeding pump) that Mason has had 11, 241 mL, equivalent to 11.24 L. This roughly works out to be 5.6 two liter bottles! Can you imagine? Mason is around the size of a 2L bottle (see the photo below). For those 20 oz bottle fans, Mason has polished off the equivalent of 18.4 them! I would have to say that he is a well hydrated boy!


Another bit of news. Mason rolled over for the first time tonight, from his tummy to his back. I think it surprised him as much as it surprised us. He sort of threw his head back and it took his whole body with him. Even though it looked like an accident, we are still so proud of him!

I love the picture with Buster laying on the blanket by Mason! He is getting so big:) We can't wait to see him.

Love,
Bethie, Allen and Austin

P.S. Mason and Austin both have the "Mommy is nuts about me" shirt. I love it!
