OCTOBER - NOVEMBER - DECEMBER

These three months were great! It seems like Leon has awaken to the world, altough he likes to hide on his own little fantasy world, which I think is perfectly normal. Teething is driving him really angry.

October

His nystagmus got a little better and he is smilling a lot but laughing shyly.

We are still on the ups and downs with his feedings. He had a bad episode of milk intolerance, than an eczema and a really nasty neurodermitis.

He is passing objects from one hand to the other, makes noises but is still behind his adjusted developmental age. He hates tummy time and is not rolling over yet, but he is over 5 kilos ( 11 lbs) and growing! That´s a milestone, if you take into account he was born weighing only 583 grams ( 1.28 lbs). Oh, and by the way, passing objects from one hand to the other is a huge milestone achieved normally when they are little over 6 months old! Way to go boy!

Looks like he is teething.

November

Grandma ( mommy´s mom) came all the way from Brazil to visit the little miracle, they tune so well that I really wish she lived just next door.

He learned a LOT with her.

I´ve been bringing him up so much as a preemie and I think my mom brought him the stimulation he needed.

He´s got his glasses - 14 diop. of myopia! Pretty high, but we reallly don´t bother much. The doc said he has to WEAR the glasses in order to achieve the milestones and to see how it progresses, in his case, wishfully, if it regresses. What get´s on our nerves is the nystagmus and having no clue about what´s his vision really is going to be regarding this movements.

Leon started on solids and loves carrots!

He is definetely teething and drooooling badly!

December

Leon is 6 kilos (13.22 lbs) and 64 cm long( 25.19 inches). Grandma Sandra and grandpa Gil came over from Brazil and stayed until the 2nd of January. We had a great time together. Me and Fernando decided to go out alone, we went dancing...soooo cool!

New year´s eve we invited friends over and had an outstanding evening.

Leon is eating vegetables and meat for lunch and milk+cereal+fruit in the late afternoon. He seems to like everything. He got a high chair from greatgrandma Ida. He looks lovely on his chair! I will soon post some of his pics seating in the high chair!
