Milestones

This month has brought some large milestones for our koishi. He slept in his own room for 3 nights in a row. The first night he slept his normal schedule while the next 2 he woke up ready to party at 3:30am. After that he was back in the bassinet in our room. This week we are trying the crib again since I am off of work and in theory can handle thee lack of sleep a little better. Although he got to be back with us last night cause he was breathing hard and vomitting.
Cereal, we tried it. One night he slept through the night again then thee next he woke up a lot.so we will probably wait a bit more, until he is sitting up a bit better.
Laughing and giggles are becoming more frequent. He usually wakes up with giggles and ear to ear smiles for us. We love every moment!
He had his first neonatal review. This is a state run clinic with every specialist he would need. They check his growth, motor skills, eating habits, general health, ears, eyes, social worker (if needed), speech therapist when needed, and many others for when he gets older. He will go at his adjusted (due date) age, about twice a year. His next one is in June. They are very pleased with his growth. On the preemie chart for higth, weigth, and head circumfrence he is in the high 20%. Motor skills are right where they need to be, the 3-4 month (adjusted). Over all they all think he is doing great!
He has outgrown the bath tub insert. We are using the inner cushion part on the big tub now and he is really starting to love splashing.

Over all great month! A year ago we learned we would be expecting our second son. Even though it has been a crazy ride we love every moment with him!

Akahige turns 32 soon and I will be 31 tomorrow. 10 years ago we celebrated our birthdays together for the first time.

Time is an amazing concept. I hope that I can make good use of all the time I am given.

You already do my darling daughter. I love you and am so proud of you! You are a beautiful motherand your hubby is an amazing father. If all babies could be loved as much as yours is there would be few problems in this world.
