Been a While!

Wow, it has been a long time since I have been on here. So sorry! I will try (eventually) to write a little about my "birth story". I had no complications (thank God!) and, despite the pain, it was just an amazing time. The first time I saw my little miracle being lifted up over the sterile curtain in the operating room was just the most amazing, indescribably wonderful moment in my life.



He will be 3 months on October 22nd! I just can't believe it. He is growing like a little weed. He had a short period of time where it seemed like he might have been growing a little slowly, and I was concerned for a little bit. But a lot of people were praying for him and it seemed like he perked up very quickly. Itwas amazing, like he went through an instant growth spurt!



Here's what he can do right now:

• Brings hands within range of eyes and mouth (he likes to suck on his hands - he just started that about 2 weeks ago when we were in Denver)


• While lying on tummy -- at two months -- lifts head 90 degrees to body


• Achieves head and neck control (He still bangs into my head when I hold him up by my head sometimes)


• Raises up and supports himself on elbows (He needs to work on this one a bit)


• Pushes down on legs when feet are placed on a firm surface (he just started doing this, and it's not all of the time)


• Takes swipes and reaches for dangling objects with hands


• Sucks and swallows well during feeding time (he has done this from the very first day...lol)


• Rolls over -- either front to back or back to front. (mainly back to front)
