Auggie is so big!

April 5th, Auggie had his 4 month physical and weighed 10lb. Seven days later, on April 12th he weighed 10lb 10oz. Yesterday, on April 20th, just 8 days after his last weight, Auggie weighs 11lb 11oz! He gained 1lb in just 8 days! He is really a healthy looking boy - and so strong! Today he had physical therapy and his therapist was just thrilled with all the new 'tricks' Auggie could do since she saw him two weeks ago. Today we practiced sitting and (as always) holding up his head. Here are some photos from the session. He was getting tired by the end!

Auggie in April

Well Auggie had a physical last week and he is officially 10lb!  He is quadruple his birthweight.  What a lot of growing this little boy has been doing.  Tomorrow Auggie turns 4 months old (he is not even 7 weeks past his due date though).   Here are some more recent photos of Auggie:

 This one is from 31-Mar.  Felix wasn't really asleep, but Auggie was.  This little boy will sleep immediately and for hours if held by his papa.

The next two photos are also from 31-Mar, the second one is Auggie's Gene Simmons impression.

 Here is a quick snapshot of Auggie eating a bottle on April Fool's day.  What a cutie!
 And here are Auggie & Sprout on 5-Apr.  We were getting ready to head to the pediatrician.
 And here is a shot at the pediatricians!

April Showers



Well....it has been a long time since we posted! oops! Here's a picture of Auggie enjoying some sunlight earlier this week.

As of today, Auggie is 5 weeks post due date. He is doing much better lately than even 4 weeks ago. He went through a really rough patch. As a preemie, Auggie struggles with gas as a result of his immature/maturing gut. He still has a lot of gas - but he is better able coordinating what he needs to do to pass his gas. For a few weeks when he was younger, his gas was so bad that he would go days at a time sleeping only 15-20 mins. It was heartbreaking to watch the poor little guy work so hard on all that gas!

Auggie has exploded (growth wise) in the past two weeks. Not even two weeks ago, Auggie still fit in newborn clothes and had room to grow. As of today, he has almost grown out of his 3 month clothes! We go to the pediatrician Tuesday and will find out how much he weighs now - but mom and dad think he must be close to 10lb. We will write more after his appointment next week. For now, enjoy this video of Auggie working on his neck strength.
