It has been over four years now since Holden joined our family. His journey started off bumpy and he's had to overcome some health challenges. But the Little Monkey continues to fight his way to becoming strong and healthy. We are so blessed to have him as our son. He inspires us and melts our hearts every day. Thank you for joining us on this journey. We've appreciated everyone's thoughts and prayers.

Baby Holden Update

No major changes over the last couple of days, but I thought I'd post a couple of pictures so you can see how much Holden is growing! He now weighs 6 lbs. 3.7oz. He is slowly improving with his bottle feedings and will now attempt up to 3 bottles a day (with the remaining being tube fed).

Our little angel turns into a fussy pants every evening, crying on and off for about 3 hours. We think we have ourselves a colicky baby. Mommy has been staying late at the hospital each night to try to console the little guy. I am sure many of you will have good tips for us on how to deal with the colic the next couple of months! Thank goodness this is something he'll outgrow!!

This little guy is growing so much! Keep it up Holden. No advice from us - a pediatric nurse told me once that you can't spoil an infant, they need holding, cuddling and loving, so mommy is doing the right thing to comfort her little munchkin! Still praying for you guys. Love Deborah & David.
