This is me holding Kai at 5 weeks old (or 31 weeks gestation) and this is him today. Much larger head at 3 1/2 months adjusted age.
His first outfit here at 4 weeks. I bought this from an online preemie clothes store. Could be a slim fit tee today!
Currently Kai weighs 14 pounds exactly at 6 months 3 weeks ( 3 1/2 months adjusted). He is doing SO well still. He had an Occupational Therapy session today (which we're doing every other week--different from his Cranial Sacral sessions with a PT). His OT was very impressed with him today. She sees a lot more strength and a lot less tightness. I had noticed this flying type of move he does when he does tummy time and she observed it as well and told me its a milestone! The Superman! He extends arms and legs in an upward motion as if he looks like he's flying then pushes himself back up onto elbows. Overall he is tracking very well for his adjusted age.
He still has slight Torticolis on his left side between his shoulder and neck. The PT & OT have both been working on him with this and today the OT suggested its more of a weakness of his sternocleidomastoid muscle in his neck more than it is a tightness because he is not stuck in this position. He freely moves his neck and rotates his head perfectly. So to adjust this slight Torticolis I will keep stretching and "correcting" his head each time I notice it.
He is also still going strong sleeping in his crib and not waking up at night. He will sleep from about 9:30pm to about 6:00am! He is so content and independent!
