So obviously I have not been the best at keeping this blog up. Taking care of Forrest keeps me very busy. :) I am going to try really hard to do a better job of posting what is going on with him and keeping pictures on here, since a lot people don't get to see the ones that I put on Facebook.
Forrest turned nine months old on August 27th. I still can't believe it. I took him to his nine month appointment today and he weighed 18 pounds and was 27 inches long. He is no longer charted on the preemie chart but is compared to all other nine month olds even though he is a preemie. So compared to other nine month olds he is in the 12% for weight and 10% for height. His head still comes in at the 55%...but we know that is just because he is REALLY smart. :)
He is rolling over both ways. He is sitting up on his own pretty well. He has two teeth already and is working on a third. The doctor was especially impressed with the fact that he is already picking up food and feeding himself since this is more of a nine month skill that she would not expect him to have yet.
He really is doing fantastic. If you saw him out you would never know everything that he went through nine months ago. It is amazing.
The only issue we are having is re-occurring ear infections in the right ear. This is due to a narrowing ear canal probably from being a preemie. I have scheduled an appointment with an ENT for next week but we are probably looking at having to put tubes in his ear.
Here is a picture of him that I took on the day he turned nine months old. :)
