It's been quite a while since our last update! Kevin has been doing well and enjoying the nice weather. He has rolled over a few more times since the last post, but he just doesn't seem to want to be on his belly. He's getting to taste a lot ...

Kevin is now 5 months old! He started rolling over a couple of weeks ago but isn't quite an expert at it yet. He gets very frustrated being on his tummy and sometimes figures out how to roll over, but sometimes just gets mad. Just a few days ago ...

Kevin continues to grow into a little boy! He's 'coo'ing more every day and making lots of new sounds. He thinks a lot of things are funny and is just barely starting to giggle a little. It looks like he's probably going to figure out how to roll over ...

    Kevin is now just over 4 months old! He had his 4-month checkup today with the pediatrician, and he's just a hair under 13 pounds and 23 3/4 inches long - that puts him up near the 25th percentile in weight and 10th percentile for length. He's moving up! ...

Kevin's now just over 12 pounds and growing steady. He seems to be developing at a normal pace, maybe just a little bit behind the curve. This is normal, we've been told, for babies who spend so much time in the hospital after they are born. He really likes ...

     Kevin's latest cardiologist visit was yesterday. He weighed in at just over 11 pounds now, which puts him at about the 15th percentile for weight. He's still in the 5th percentile for his length (I forget his actual length). He is now three months old, and has spent more ...

     It's been quite a while since the last update! Kevin is growing to be a pretty big boy now, at about 10 1/2 pounds. He had another visit with his pediatrician on the 20th which went well. Nothing unusual to report and he thought Kevin was looking great. He ...

   Kevin had his followup visit with the cardiologist today. He's gained more weight - up to 4.29 kb (9 lbs 7.25 oz). This still only puts him at the 5th percentile, though! His length is right around the same percentile. He seems so big and chunky to us now, ...

Kevin has made great progress in the last week. His NG tube hasn't been in since last week when we took it out, and he's eating like a champ. It's so much easier and more convenient to feed him without the tube. He eats quickly and ...

Kevin continues to do well at home. He's slowly gaining weight, although not as fast as they would probably like him to - he's about an ounce shy of 8 pounds now. We continue to struggle with his eating and spitting up. We took out his NG tube today ...
