updates

The good news is that for my 35th birthday week, Jules gave me two great presents:

1. He took his first steps.
2. He went off oxygen during the daytime. This means he gets to wear real boy clothes instead of the pajamas he wore for 14 months straight. The joy of being able to see him wear pants and a shirt that can be pulled over his head is amazing. We are all delighted. He looks so cute in real clothes! And it is so great to be able to really see his face all day.

He did forget to grow for a couple of months, so we had a bunch of appointments to jump on that and he is now on a new food brew. Pediasure, plus his thickening agent, etc.... It has 30 calories an ounce instead of 28, so we hope that helps him grow again. He is still weighing in at 18 pounds.

He will be one year "corrected" on Christmas.

He has developmental assessments from the high risk infant clinic the first week of january. He gets to meet with a psychologist, a developmental pediatrician, etc...

Happy Chanukah!
Joy

Yay! Happy Chanukah! So nice to see an update, and to see a very positive update as well. First steps? Wow -- he's ahead of many full-term babies in that area. You've got a handsome, room-air-breathing, big-boy clothes wearing little walker on your hands! I am so happy to hear this news!
