Happy Easter!

Today is my first Easter! I got a lot of goodies!  I went to my granny and uncle John's house...I ate carrots for the first time...I ate it all up but I think its my least favourite so far...

Bumbo!

My breakfast Rice Cereal went very well as well...I didn't mess one drop! I sat in my bumbo seat for the first time but I am still too small so mommy put a small pillow under my bum!

Rice Cereal?

I went to Dr Egner for a check up...he was happy with everything...I weigh 2,7kg and I'm now 48cm long...Dr Egner said I could start eating Rice cereal from today...one spoon in the morning and one in the evening...he said that I probably won't actually eat much on the first few tries...I had some for supper and ate every single drop mommy gave me and I hardly made any mess at all :) I sat in my car seat while I ate.

Drive

I have been off the caffeine for 2 weeks now :) Daddy took us for a drive just to get out of the house because I don't go anywhere unless I have to, like to the doctor etc because it was suggested that I stay away from crowded places and sick people as much as possible, especially for the first 3 months - mommy and daddy are strict with this and don't even allow any visitors except for close family...

I'm a survivor!

I went for my follow up hearing test.  I passed this time.  I have to go for another follow up in six months time!  I had a check up with Dr Egner today as well.  While we were waiting for Dr Egner we met a little girl, she is nearly 2 years old...she was also born at 26 weeks and weighed 580g...Dr Egner was happy with everything...I weigh 2,25 kg now...I am Dr Egner youngest surviving patient so far!  I will be getting stuff called Polycose added to my milk from now on to add calories.  I went to visit the NICU at Parklands :)
