7 Months Old

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. We have had to start putting Morgan back on oxygen at night and he doesn't sleep nearly as well with the oxygen, he gets up 3 or more times a night as opposed to once a night so we haven't been getting as good of sleep. For a while there Morgan was doing well at night but over the past week he has started to drop down to the low 90's and the doctor wants him over 95%. Morgan was 15 pounds 6 ounces at the pumonologist on Thursday, so they dropped him down to 22 calorie formula!! So we'll have to make sure he can keep gaining weight on lower calories. Morgan is 7 months old today. It's hard to believe it has been months. Morgan is getting much better at grabbing and kicking toys on his play mat. He has also started rolling over from back to belly and belly to back. I have only seen him roll from back to belly but Brad said he had laid him on his belly on the floor one morning left the room and when he came back Morgan was on his back. So that is exciting to see him keep developing on schedule. I included a picture of Morgan with his cousins (my sisters boys).

Morgan slept through the night

Hi everyone. I just wanted to post a quick note to let everyone know that last night Morgan slept IN HIS CRIB from 9pm, woke up at 1am, ate 6 ounces and then went back to sleep until 6am. I know it isn't exactly sleeping through the night but it is the closest we have come so I am saying he did sleep through the night and he was satting in the high 90's the entire night without oxygen! It was very nice for mommy and daddy to be able to sleep at the same time in the same bed! Morgan also weighed in at 13 pounds 11 ounces at the doctor on Monday! He went and saw the developmental doctor and the doctor said he looked good for a baby born as early as he was so that was encouraging. Ok I have to go get ready for work!

Hello everyone. Just wanted to post a couple of pictures and a video I took of Morgan today in his crib. He finally noticed the crib toy and really liked it. That and his mobile kept him entertained for a good 20 minutes or more! When he started to fuss I took him out got him to sleep and laid him back in his crib and that is where he is now sleeping...we'll see how long it lasts. Brad and I are going to put him in his crib at least once a day to get him more used to it. Well Morgan just keeps getting bigger and bigger. He weighed in at 12 pounds 9 ounces at the pediatrician today! I am a little nervous he is gaining weight too fast...if so we can decrease the number of calories in his formula. Right now he is on 27 calorie but I'm not sure if he needs to be at this rate. Last Wednesday at the pulmonologist he was 12 pounds and the doctor said that was the 50th percentile for a 2 and a half month old. Morgan got his 6 month shots and check up today. The doctor is pleased with how he is doing. Allison...I thought you would like the picture of the dogs...two peas in a pod!
