Green beans...

Dear Nicky,

We added green beans to your repertoire this afternoon. You didn't seem to care for them initially, but you warmed up to them eventually. You're such a good boy and a good eater. You're learning to open your mouth in expectation and bring your jaw together to feed. We think this all good. Outside was a lousy day all day. It was rainy, windy, and warm. These are nice atmospheric conditions when you're in Hawaii, but they make for a muggy, sweaty, and generally unpleasant day in Hoboken, New Jersey. We're sort of working our way back to midnight feedings again, at least until after you get your heart fixed. Y'see, the addition of solids and the condition of your heart has caused your formula consumption to go down, which makes us worried that you're not getting enough fluids or nutrition. So, it's almost chow time!

Love,
Dad
