Four Generations

Kelson had another strong day today. Krista gave him a sponge bath this morning, and got to wash his hair again. He really seemed to enjoy bath time, and was very alert.

Around noon today, Kelson got to meet his Great-Grandpa Kuipers "Great Papa". Great Papa is 91 years old, and my parents brought him down to visit. It was the first time there were four generations of Kuipers men all in one room...at least in my lifetime.

It was my turn to hold at the 2 PM feeding. They shortened the feeding time from 2 hrs, to 90 minutes. He still gets 40 mL per feeding, just in a shorter amount of time. He still is tolerating feedings remarkably well.

Tonight we were invited to Kristas Aunt and Uncles for a cookout. It was a nice, relaxing evening.

Tomorrow we are really focused on getting started into even more of a routine. Krista and I both like structure in our lives, and have been struggling to get into a normal routine over the past month. Hopefully, Kelson will remain stable and get on a better schedule, so that we can too.
