Things are going well at home.  We're getting into a routine, as well as learning the ropes of having a newborn in the house again.  Cooper is doing great at keeping to his feeding schedule, and making great progress with taking more of his feedings orally.  He took his first complete oral feeding today, no tubes involved!  We hope and pray he'll continue to develop the strength and coordination he needs to feed orally.  He has also had new arm splints cast and will be wearing them 8 hours at a time.  We continue our busy month of February with many of the intitial outpatient appointments.  We anticipate things calming down a bit after we get through this month.  Kalani has been extremely busy with all the appointments, and coordinating things with the girls.  Grandpa and Grandma DeHaan have been wonderful at helping with the girls, and being "on-call" for anything that may come up.  We are blessed to have such great parents, and don't know what we'd do without them. 

The girls have been awesome big sisters.  Tess is so cute planting her little kisses on Cooper.  She's so careful and gentle with him, far from her true nature.  Leila continues to be a big help with Cooper.  She made the comment one day about her not minding that Cooper had a feeding tube, because if he didn't he'd be like all the other babies, and not as special.  Talk about a proud parent moment. 

Thank you again for everyone's prayer and support we've received.  We're truly blessed to have such amazing family and friends.
