He's Getting Bigger...

I took Forrest to his 4 month doctor appointment last Friday. He did great with everything..even getting his shots. He is now 9 pounds 2 ounces and 21 inches long. This puts him in the 25% on the preemie chart for both height and weight. His head is now 15 1/2 inches in diameter which puts his head in the 75% on the preemie chart. Obviously he is going to be VERY smart. :)

Little Late...

Forrest wanted to say Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone...but I am just now getting it posted. :)

Look Who Has Started To Smile...

Getting so big...

This afternoon, after taking a walk outside in the beautiful weather, Forrest took a nap in his swing. He looked so cozy that I couldn't help but take a few pictures. His face is starting to look so much fuller than before. I can't believe how quickly he is getting so big.

Look who is three months old! He is weighing in at 7 pounds and is 19.5 inches long.

Here are some previous pictures so you can compare.

Doing Great

Forrest's surgery on Friday went really well. We had to stay in the hospital overnight so they could monitor him, but we were released around 10:30am the next morning. He has been a little uncomfortable and cranky but that is to be expected. I have been able to keep him as comfortable as possible with Tylenol.

The cool thing is that they didn't even use stitches on the outside. He has stitches that will dissolve on the inside and a steri-stripe on the outside that will fall off on its own in about 2-3 weeks. This makes everything a lot easier.

Thanks for praying for our little guy.
