Callie has had a great week! She passed the 13 pound mark and has officially made the baby growth chart for weight! (she has only been on the preemie chart up until now!) She had grown two inches since her last pediatrician appointment, but still hasn't hit the "normal" growth chart (that may be partly Mommy's genes!) Her pediatrician was very happy with Chubby Callie and doesn't need to see her again for three months! We did discuss the upcoming flu season and have decided, along with her Pediatrician, that we really need to keep her in a bubble this fall/winter season. So, we will be pretty much hiding out and only visiting with those healthy people that have had the flu shot. We just can't be too safe with our Callie!
We had a small outing this week to St. Joe's. We wanted to bring Callie back to the NICU before flu season and this week seemed like a good opportunity! It was so great to see our NICU family...they took such great care of Callie and it was so nice for them to see how far she has come!
Infants and Toddlers also came out this week for an evaluation. Callie had been working with a summer teacher, and her full time teacher started back this week after the summer and came to work with her for the first time. She was extremely pleased with Callie. She evaluated Callie to be between 4 and 5 months (she is still only 3 months adjusted age) on most things. She is actually testing at 6 months for her social and emotional abilities!!
What a week indeed! So much more good news. Great job Callie, Mommy and Daddy.

ReplyDeletePam says Hi..Callie looks wonderful! and "I told you so!"
Once again, the teacher's evaluations are wonderful news. It doesn't surprise me about the "Social" aspects for her growth. She is such a happy baby. It's obvious that you continue to work with her, the way you have always, putting her needs on the top of your list of things to do. None of this is new or unexpected. I admire these qualities in both of you. I love you all!
