3/28-4/10/11

Omi had another week of appointments, making him the busiest baby I know.

He had another round of vaccinations early in the week. He pretty much hated them. 
Why does it seem that when your kid has a shot, the first thing they do is look directly at you like; "Why?!?!?!"

Next, he had another follow up eye exam to see if he needed glasses. Nope, not so far. 
He's probably still going to get them at some point, but not just yet. 

Then, he had his follow up at the NICU. He's doing great all across the board.
He's either right where he is supposed to be, or a little ahead in every category they measure him; Head growth, weight, length, etc. He's now 12.5lbs!
His Doctor said if she didn't know any better, she would think that he was between 2-3 months old, and wouldn't guess that he was a preemie. So he's normal, just short.

As I was packing him up getting ready to leave, she told me; "You can go ahead and leave the monitor here."
I can't tell you how happy we are about that. I thought he had another month or so on it. 
So yeah, no more "devices" for Omi. We can just walk over and pick him up anytime without having to worry about tripping over cords and getting all tangled up.

We celebrated by going for a walk with him for the first time.
He slept through the whole thing.

His voice is finally starting to get a bit louder, he seems a bit more interested in the world around him and he smiles a lot.
We just need to buy him some hair.

All in all, things couldn't be going better.
