Micah is getting stronger each day. He is less "floppy" these days. His neck muscles are stronger as are his leg/arm muscles. He is awake for longer periods of time and often likes to look around and check things out. And we actually can hear his cry in another room.
On Thursday at the Dr. he weighed 8lbs 3 oz!! Yeah - he gained 7oz in 6 days. What an accomplishment. And now he's past his birthweight - even better! We're still working on the breastfeeding, but hoping that he'll get stronger to do this as well.
The Eye doctor said he was doing great. She suggested doing some "tracking" exercises to work on eye/brain development. The PT therapist suggested doing "tummy time" to help develop head strength. So we have some fun games to play with at home.
In many ways he seems like a "normal" just-born infant. Which could mean that he's 3 weeks behind in development. Not bad for the little guy.
