Six Weeks

Dash is officially six weeks old.  I almost can't belive everything that has happened in those six weeks.  He has been gaining weight and doing very well.  He still has some reflux but the meds have helped.  At his last appointment he had gained 14.5 ounces making him 5 lbs 14.5 oz.  He has an ROP check tomorrow.  That is the vision issue that affects preemies, Amaree has this issue so we are anxious to have some results for Dash.  Hopefully he won't have this issue.  He has also been able to turn the oxygen down a little so hopefully he will be off of that soon too!

Tummy time!  Dash can hold his head up for quite a few seconds and uses his head turning ability to look at everyone.

Amaree has been a super helper and loves her brother.  She did finally say she was a little bored and wants to know when he will be able to play, specifically he needs to be able to splash in his bath.  He will be able to play soon enough and then she will complain that he is playing with her toys!  She does love to be able to give him anything she thinks he needs, pacifier, diaper, wipes, blankets, toys, to be bounced, etc.  She is a great big sister!
