Well, Daniel was at the pediatrician’s office on Friday.
He is 14lbs 9oz’s and is 24 3/4 inches long, the size of some Thanksgiving Turkeys! Our doctor said that Daniel is basically equal in size to any other 6 month old baby. Of course, developmentally he will be playing catch up as preemies do.
We have been so pleased with Daniel’s progress. He is getting better with trying to hold his head up, he is aware of his hands, how to bring his hands together and to his mouth, he swats and reaches out for things in front of him, and follows objects with his eyes, etc..
As for social smiling, he now has that mastered. He smiles so much, and of course that just melts our hearts every time, no matter how often he does it.
And for eating, well, that has NOT been any issue for Daniel since the day he made his early debut in this world. He is up to 6.5 ounces every 4 hours (although hungry every 3) , and our doctor said we can try out a few teaspoons of cereal with him. We shall see how that goes.
Enjoy the pictures.
Thank you as always for your continued prayers and support.
Christine, Anthony, and DANIEL.
