More updates on Alan

This has been another really busy week for Alan and Mommy. Monday we had an appointment to have his development evalutated. The evaluator said that he was NOT DELAYED!!! :) We were very excited about that! She said that only thing we needed to be concerned about was his head control because he is still a little floppy. Alan also rolled over for the first time while he was being evaluated! I was very excited but bummed at the same time because Matt was not able to see it. When I told Matt that Alan rolled over, he was excited but you could tell from his face that he was very upset that he missed it. Here is one of the cool things Alan started doing! He can grab his toys now and can pass them from one hand to another!

We also have good news/bad news. Good news: Alan has finished up his two weeks off of caffeine without any problems when they came to download his monitor. Bad news: Alan had two low heartrate episodes on Monday night and Wednesday night. :( The infant monitoring people at MUSC want to check his monitor again to see if they can find the reason for the alarms before they say it is ok to take him off the monitor for good.

But our little boy still has his sense of humor for sure! I caught him with his binky upsidedown on his nose. Not sure how he managed to get it there but he did. :)

We have started trying to get Alan to sleep without rocking him at night. We will put him in bed awake and let him go to sleep on his own. Some nights it works great and other nights not so well. Just depends on his mood. Tonight was one of the not so great nights. He is on round 4 tonight of trying to sleep.

Here is Alan after he FINALLY pulled his little bunny off of his bouncer. Took him a couple of days but when he got it down he was one of the happiest babies I have ever seen!
