Something we are not used to hearing

Yesterday Liam had his 6 month follow up with the eye doctor to make sure his eyes were developing normally. We have not had any concerns, but premies are at higher risk for developing a number of eye/vision problems. Liam did very well at the doctor's office and we were very happy to hear everything is fine with his eyes.

As the doctor was examining him she kept saying, 'He is so big.' That is not something we are use to hearing. After months and months of 'He's so small' it was a little bit of a surprise to hear the doctor comment on that. His next appointment with the pediatrician is at 9 months so we won't have official stats on his size, but at least compared to the other premies the eye doctor sees he is getting big.

Liam is really starting to do a lot of neat things. He has begun to hold his own bottle, although he tends to lose interest quickly.

Liam will be a happy boy when he can finally figure out how to move forward!
