My binky is bigger than my hand!
Still diggin tummy time... 
ahhh, good stuff 
Lucas was measured again on Sunday and he has grown an inch since last Sunday! He is 13.75 inches long and his head is 10.5 inches in circumference. He weighed 2lbs 9 oz (1160 grams). Baby boy is too small for his full size preemie outfits, but he's still really adorable in them. He's been very fussy the past few days and his heart rate has been pretty high. The nurse, Amy said yesterday that they are probably going to do an EKG to look at his heart's electrical activity. Lucas is off of the methadone medication now and finishes the dexamethasone steroid treatment today. He's been enjoying being held by mommy and daddy -- mommy and daddy are enjoying it too. Its so nice when he is awake and looking at us, but his heart rate is lower when he's sleeping, so my favorite time is when he's asleep being held.
By the end of the week he should be switched to being fed just once every 3 hours. We're 9 Oz away from three pounds! He just needs to keep growing.
