Jay has been officially home for one year!!! And a year ago yesterday was my due date so Jay is officially a corrected age of one year.
He has adjusted very well to his preschool. And he gets along so well with the other babies in the "baby room". The teachers tell me he is a very mellow child and not agressive. Rarely fussy unless he is hungry or needs a diaper change. He usually takes a short nap there. And when we get home in the afternoon he naps again. Then he's up until bedtime.
He scoots everywhere and he's very fast so you have to make sure you keep your eye on him! Pretty soon I think the coffee table is going to have to go because he can pull himself up on it and it's freaking both Joe and I out.
So far we don't notice any separation anxiety. But that might change as he gets older we'll have to wait and see. It's also become very clear in our house Daddy is all about fun time while Mommy is the mean one who gets stuck doing the things Jay hates like getting the boogies out of his little nose.
I can not believe our little miracle has been home for one year. Joe and I are so grateful to everyone for all the good wishes and blessings given to Jay. Every parent believes their child is special. We obviously do too. We truly believe our son is a born fighter. He fought to be here and fought to stay alive. And he's grown from a mere 1lb 7oz micro preemie into a 17lb vibrant and energetic little boy. Jayan you are our heart and we will do anything for you. We love you so much.

My heart melts every time I see pictures of that little man. How he is growing.. and that is such a great thing. I think about my other preemie babies every day. I am amazed at how well they are all doing. A miracle in itself. I just did a speech for March of Dimes and talked about our loss of normalcy.... I still wait for that other shoe to drop sometmes... they aren't supposed to be doing this well right? My heart is always with you. Congrats on one year home... he will keep meeting his milestones and surpass those full-termers!
Love from the Harrington's!
