Every once in a while, Cole will cough or spit up hard enough to project that feeding tube right out of his nose. Luckily it doesn't happen that often - but when it does, it's quite an adventure. Serious projectile force action. The feeding tubes, as you might imagine, are not that fun to replace - for him or us. Yes, we have to replace it through his nose and down into his tummy - it's quite an event (and one I wasn't sure we'd be able to master when the hospital indicated we couldn't take him home until we could BOTH demonstrate it), so we're all grateful it doesn't happen all that often.
However, when it does, we take full advantage of it and start snapping even more photos. We think he's such a handsome boy and all the better without silly distracting tubes running across his face. So once we're calm and everyone's had a bath - and I mean everyone - we take a little while to relax.
We shot these pictures all together - just snapping one right after the other - to get a full range of motion and poses. His hair is still wet and so it maintains a little bit of wave, but we really like the stetches and it seems clear that once he gets over the whole episode of blowing a tube - he seems to be in a groove.
