Happy 9 months old Will

Today Will is 9 months old. Happy 9 months to the happiest and funniest little boy I know. Will has been a wonderful joy to have and we are so thankful to God for the most precious gift he gave us 9 months ago. We cherish every minute with him and wouldn't trade it for anything else in the world. We love you Will with all of our hearts!!!!!!

Nicu Follow up clinic

Will had another Nicu follow up appointment at the clinic last week. He goes every 3 months and they monitor what all he is doing as far as hitting milestones and his eating habits. His eating and growth is good and falls around the middle of the chart that they want to see.

He has started rolling over from belly to back but is doing it in a not so normal way. He sticks his legs up and rolls over instead of tucks them in and rolls over. Also when we are picking him up his legs go straight out instead of curling them in. With all that said they recommended that we go for a therapy consult to see if he would need therapy or if we could just do some in home exercises. So we are waiting on a phone call regarding our appointment for therapy. A lot of places are booked now so we will just use the techniques they gave us and wait.

Will weighed around 14lbs 3oz and was 25 inches long. He wears size 2 diapers and is in anything between 3-9 months clothes but it all depends on how they fit him. He still is loving life and enjoying his daily activities such as sleeping, eating, bouncing in his jumper for hours and playing on his play mat. All in all life is good.

We go back at the end of October for hopefully his last eye appointment with Dr Brawner. His eyes are 95% mature and Dr Brawner hopes that he will be 100% when we see him at the end of the month.

Thankfully Will has not been sick. He did get a flu shot and will go back for another dose in November. We are still waiting on a phone call for the RSV shot. Hopefully we can be sick free this winter. So it's October and he is home bound for a while so we can get through the sick and cold season.

Sip n See

Mom hosted a sip n see for her friends and mine that had not seen Will. He met so many sweet friends that have prayed for him since the beginning. We are thankful for the sweet people who came to meet Will. He had a blast and entertained everyone who came.

Bath Time

Will loves bath time. If he is in a bad mood, we put him in the tub and he is all happy. A few weeks ago we took a few pre-bath pics with my precious naked baby.

Happy Birthday Doug and Happy 8 months old Will

First of all I have to give a HUGE shout out to my sweet husband, Doug who turns 32 years old today. Last year he received the best birthday present I could ever give him. On Doug's birthday last year we found out we were having TWINS. We were so thrilled and excited to see what God had in store for us! God has never let us down and we will always be greatful to him for the surprise we got on September 19, 2011. So Happy Birthday, Doug! Will and I wish you many many happy birthdays to come and we love you very much!

So, WOW, what a difference a year makes. Will is 8 months old today! We had a pediatrician appointment today and he weighs 13lbs 12oz and is 24 inches long which puts him in the 50th percentile in height and weight. He was having a good time entertaining Dr Stone today. We have been given the go ahead to start juice in a sippy cup. So I guess we will venture into that fun. He did get some shots today. He will get a RSV shot and flu shot in October. Poor thing!! Overall he is doing very good from being born so early. We thank God for him everyday.

Love my boys today on there special day!!
