There were lots of new things and experiences for Jonathan (and us!) today.
Jonathan got a new toy to keep him and teddy company - I think it looks like a banana but Chris insists that it's a cat...whatever it is, it makes a very cute squeaking noise when you shake it (which is sure to drive the nurses nuts by the end of the week):
Jonathan's first bottle feed - up until now, he's mainly been fed his milk via his nasogastric tube (which was a nice lazy option as it all just went straight down to his tummy and bypassed his mouth) but today we got to try giving him his feed using a bottle. It was a pretty good first effort and he managed to get about 15mL of his feed down before he started falling asleep. I guess it was a little tiring for him because he actually had to work for his food, but practice makes perfect, so we'll work on it!
The first time Jonathan got burped after a feed - he's probably wondering what we were trying to do to him!
