Ida Jane downs another bottle

Ida Jane decided yesterday that she meant business when it comes to the bottle, downing another whole bottle at her 6 PM feeding last night. She's doing very well with her eating lately, making all of the nurses and doctors quite optimistic in terms of her coming home.

She's also becoming much more alert and active. She particularly enjoys listening to the nurses chat with each other, and to mom and dad's voices. Sometimes that can be distracting for her when she eats, because she'd rather listen to us than drink her milk.

Here's a picture of her enjoying a post-math moment with her dad by grabbing onto his thumbs.

And here's the promised Sunday Matinee of Grandma and Ida Jane meeting for the first time.
