Well, Friday was our "well baby" check up - should have been "whale baby" ! Michael is 20 pounds, 10 ounces and is 27 1/2 inches tall/long. He is in the 99 percentile for babies at six months ( his calendar age). If we go by his "adjusted" age (due date) he is four months and in the 110 percentile ! The doctor had a rehab therapist that specializes in preemmes there to elvaluate Michael's developement. They did some tests and asked a lot of questions. In terms of mental acuity, alertness, and personality; he is right on where he should be. Some of his physical/motor skills are lagging, but not anything that falls outside the normal developement range (ie: all babies do things in their own time.) Some of it is simply because he is BIG (so was Matt and I see some of the same) YEAH ! The doctor said Michael is doing so well that we scheduled his next "well baby" appointment for 12 months !
EVERYBODY do the Happy Dance !
Matt has a "girlfriend". She gave him 3 Valentines at school. He also said she tries to kiss him on the playground. I asked him what does he do ? He replied : "Run as fast as I can!"
Meg got a new 'do - My sis-in-law took her to get her haircut. She got a cute chin-length pageboy cut - it is adorable ! She is very pleased with herself. She keeps looking in the mirror giving herself positive affermations :)
Time for bed - C U Later ;)
