doing well

Although he is staying in the hospital until at least Monday to allow the doctors to continue monitoring his breathing, Jack has been doing very well the last 36 hours or so. The picture below notwithstanding, overall he seems much more active. Previously it was a struggle to keep him awake for five minutes to eat, whereas now he seems more alert and has no qualms letting everyone in the special care nursery know when it is time to eat.

There is another development that also involves making sure others in the area are aware of his presence - gas. There were two times yesterday when a nurse walking in his vicinity was sure the smell wafting though the nursery indicated that he needed his diaper changed. But both times it was just gas. I wonder which parent gave him that trait?
