Our little miracle is six months old and has been home for 11 weeks. We had a pediatrician appointment on Friday and he weighs exactly 10 pounds! I can tell because that car seat carrier is getting heavier and heavier. I take advantage of Daddy any time he's around to carry it. :)
Jay is also responding to us when we talk to him with his own babble. I have to get video of this but i'st awesome!! Joe can really get him to get going (just like the smiles) Joe comes home from work and chats with Jay. I'm convinced he's telling his Dad what I did and did not do for him all day.
For the most part he is truly a happy baby. I'm being strict starting the rice cereal until he is 4 months corrected. So at the end of this month I'll start thinking about it. I'm just worried about food allergies etc. So for now he takes 3.5-4 oz of formula at each feeding. Kind of amazing to think he started with just 1 ml (cc)
Yesterday for his birthday my Dad and I took him to the temple and then I came home and scrapbooked his entire NICU stay. As I looked at the pictures I couldn't help but tear up. His progress is so remarkable. Some people may just say we're lucky I say God is good.

Happy 6 Months, Jay!!!! Yippee and we miss you so much...can't wait to hang out with you again...MEL says oxoxox your way...Take care and kiss your Mom and Dad for us...Love, The English's - Chris, Ai and Mel
He is doing so well Ana! i agree with the waiting on food. We waited even longer than you, and Josh is doing just fine with eating. At this point, they need all of the calories/nutrition from the formula/bm. Food is just for oral development. My oldest really didn't want food until he was over a year old. He was a breast baby all the way. The baby babbling is the funniest thing. Josh talks and talks and I really wish I had the baby communicating tool so I knew what he was saying. Da-da does lots of it though! Da-da is really in trouble! Keep posting. I love seeing his progress. Our little miracle babies are SO SPECIAL!
