Scott had to leave early this morning to head back to Pennsylvania. It was always so hard to say goodbye. They only had one more week before he was finished with his internship, which was so exciting. They could not believe that the end was so near.

Susanne got up with Scott to feed Paxton. Shortly after his morning feeding, he woke up dry heaving and gagging. Susanne quickly resolved the problem and got him happily playing in no time. He was keeping his hands by his side a lot more these days. His newest obsession was to lightly pat his belly with his hand. It almost looked like he was playing the drums. He was definitely smiling a whole lot. He was finding everything funny, which made Susanne feel good.

Susanne had missed Paxton so much overnight that she held him extra long this morning. He ended up falling asleep in her arms. She spent some time just staring at his sweet, angel face. There was nothing more peaceful than watching her baby sleep.

Aunt Kerry woke up mid-morning. Susanne was thankful that someone at least got to catch up on some sleep. Susanne showed Kerry all of the things that she had been learning in Paxton's therapy sessions. Kerry was impressed with his progress, especially with his improvements with lifting his head.

Later in the afternoon, Susanne showed Kerry the different techniques she had been working on with regard to oral feeding. Paxton was doing so well with the facial massage and rubbing of the gums. He eventually let her place her index finger in his mouth for him to suckle on. Finally, he was interested in his special bottle. At first, he was really gung ho about it, but that didn't last too long. He quickly became violent. It almost appeared as if he was trying to hit or punch Susanne when she would attempt to go near his mouth. He would make the most disgusted face at her as if she was feeding him something disgusting. If Susanne stopped to make sure he knew everything was okay, he would smile and carry on like nothing happened. It was very humorous to see how smart he was. He definitely knew that he had the upperhand in the situation. Let the stubborness begin.

Paxton did well throughout the day. Aunt Kerry volunteered to learn how to complete a NG feeding and give Paxton medications so that she would be able to help out when Susanne had to go to work. Susanne was always impressed with how eager her friends and family were to assist with Paxton's schedule because it could be overwhelming and intimidating, especially in the beginning. She appreciated all of the help that people had to offer.

Susanne was excited about tonight because the finale for "The Bachelorette" was coming on. She knew exactly which of the two men she would pick. She obviously had a thing for tall, dark, handsome men.
