CP no more!!!
My little fighter…I can’t tell you how proud I am of you… Yesterday you and mommy went to Hamilton for your 6 month growth and development checkup. Everything went really well at the appointment, in fact I was told that you are now 16 pounds and almost 27inches long!! You are growing and growing! but the really big news is that the neonatologist came in (she is a specialist in working with children in and out of the NICU).

finally pooping every day!!!
well, we have had quite a hard time with Ayden and his bowel movements. When he was on breast milk almost every diaper was dirty but when we moved to formula he became a 5-6 day pooper…meaning that it was only every 5-6 days he would poop and he would not go on his own. I had to give him glycerine suppossitories or use a trick a doc taught me with a q-tip and some ky jelly…You hate to assist as babies will become dependent on this and will only go when they are helped but you can’t let him go too long without pooping…so in the last week and a bit we have introduced oat cereal into his diet and as you read below yesterday we started on carrots.
