The happiest place on Earth!
Jackson.. my other son!
Our little sleepybear.
Playing with Mama.
Look at those cheeks.

Samuel is doing fabulously. We'll know exactly how much he weighs later in the week but he feels like he is over 10 lbs, which is truly amazing. He is starting to coo and smile back at us. Baylor Grapevine has a NICU Graduate Program that Samuel is participating in. We went for our first evaluation and Samuel did well. Because he is a preemie he is evaluated based on his adjusted age which is his actual age minus 12 weeks (the amount he was born early). Based on that Samuel's adjusted age right now is 4 weeks old~ even though he was born almost 4 months ago. Physically he tested at 4 weeks old. We have to work on getting him to look to the left more. He tends to favor his right side. They also want his head to round out more. Developmentally he tested at 2 months and was above average on his feeding. He has no problem sucking, swallowing and breathing. Overall, Samuel is on track and they expect him to catch up both physically and developmentally by age 2. No matter where he is with his development it is a miracle that he made it through being born so early without any major problems. We are thankful every day.
