Jameson is now 5 months old and we are loving him more and more each day. He had an evaluation last week with what is called the EDGE Clinic. It is made up of physical therapists and Neuro. doctors who both are specialized in development of babies. He was referred to this clinic after he was born as a way to keep track of him and how he is doing. After Jameson was born a MRI was done on him and it showed some places that he might later in life have trouble with. He is at risk for muscle problems. All of this happened due to him not getting oxygen to the brain since he was not breathing. Well the neuro doctor came in and checked him out and then the physical therapist came in and checked him out and did some exercises with him. After which they both came in to explain what they found which was nothing. They said he is doing great! With this clinic if he did show any signs of problems in any way they would then get him the help he would need to over come the problems. If anything is going to start happening the best thing we can do is get him help to over come it early. I am thankful for programs like this and even more thankful for good results. He is a healthy little boy who is growing as he should if not better. He is ahead and I am very proud of him. I reflect on the day he was born a lot and how thank I am for him and how far he has come from that day. I still believe he is doing so good due to the blessing he received the day he was born. I know heavenly father is mindful of us and knows us. I look forward to him growing and over coming everything as he grows. He will be checked up again by the nurses and neuro next month for a 6 month old check up and then again when he is 12 months old. I hate that he is growing fast but at the same time I love to see him grow and be strong.
Some things he is doing now at 5 months
- rolling over like crazy.
- pulling himself across the floor. Not crawling just pulling with his arms. So between the rolling and pulling he is never in the same place for very long.
- Sleep not so good lately. We are working on it! Not sure what is going on he is just so gassy at night and it keeps waking him up I think? We are trying to get to the bottom of it. Some nights he wakes only 1 time and other nights it is like 6 times. I prefer the 1 time and I like my sleep so it is hard to do the 6 times.
- We did start him on rice cereal per his doctor but stopped due to it making him even more gassy. We are waiting and maybe try oatmeal.
- She has the cutes smile and laugh and loves and I do mean loves his big sister. He laughs at her and loves to pull her hair to get her closer to him. Ashley on the other had does not like the hair pulling, but loves him back.
5 months is crazy but he will be 6 soon and so on and so on!
