Ryan Patrick Byler, one of Florida's first sextuplets, was released Saturday from All Children's Hospital in St. Petersburg, spokeswoman Cindy Rose said.

Ryan is the fifth of the six infants to be released from the hospital. Charlie Craig Byler remained in the hospital and was in fair condition.

Ryan was discharged after he began regular bottle feeding. He joined Jackson, Brady, Eli and Mackenzie at the family's home in Wesley Chapel.

The sextuplets were born Sept. 1, two months premature, at Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg, each weighing between 2 pounds, 5 ounces and 3 pounds. They were later moved to All Children's.

Their father, Ben Byler, said one of their pediatricians, Mark Bilella, gave the infants a house-call checkup Saturday morning.

"They are all fine and getting bigger," their father said.
