SOOOooooo BIG!

Miss Addison continues to get great reports. Today she had another check up with the eye doctor and her eyes looked completely normal!! No more bleeding, her blood vessels have grown and developed, her vision is normal and she focuses and tracks VERY well! The Dr said she is difficult to assess (since you can't reason with babies ;)) so we have to go back in 4 weeks again to confirm that everything is developed.

In the last week we also ran out of our milk fortifier that she has been getting since the NICU. Premature babies are usually on this until they are about 8 pounds. She is so close!! Last week Monday she weighed 7#10oz and this past Sunday she was 7#14oz!! We have to weigh her once more and if she continues to gain weight and do well with just straight breastmilk we will be done with that too!!

Developmentally she is also right on track meeting all of her milestones. She definitely knows Mommy and Daddy by sight and sound. She is full of smiles and loves it when we stick our tongues out at her... she will do it right back. :)

Update-Oct 15...Addison now weighs 8# 1oz!!!!  We are so proud of her!!!
