My cute little boy.... My cute little boy showing off HIS DIMPLE!!!!
We had a GREAT appointment yesterday with Dr. Chowdery, his lung doc - he turned his oxygen down to 1/32 of a liter - which means the next turn down will be OFF OXYGEN!!! We are scheduled for a follow up heart ultrasound mid March to check on his pulmonary hypertension - if that looks ok......the oxygen will be coming off!

This morning we had his 4 month well baby check with Dr. Ligler and Boston is 8 pounds 4 ounces and is 21 1/4 inches long! We use the Down Syndrome growth chart AND his adjusted preemie age of 2 months - that puts him in the 25% for length and weight and 50% in head size. Both doctors were thrilled with his progress and happy with the milestones he is reaching: smiling, grasping toys, kicking, reaching for toys. He is doing really well which is good for me to hear!! Keep those prayers coming!
