Bring on the bottles

Avery, Will, and Alivia are now working on conquering the art of drinking from a bottle. Before they can go home they must be able to do all of their meals through a bottle. Avery is leading the way usually able to drink all of her bottle before getting tired. Will is just a little bit behind her but takes a little longer and sometimes unable to finish. Little Alivia gives a great effort but still only able to finish about half before growing to tired. The nurses describe the bottle feeding as a mini marathon for them because of the energy it requires. What they don't finish they give the rest through the little tubes in their nose that you see on the pictures, this tube goes down to the stomach. Over all they are doing excellent gaining weight and building strength. The nurse said on Monday they were awake and alert and so cute so she had to start taking pictures. About 145 pictures later she finished. It looks like they had a good time.
