17 months old - (14mths corrected),

Well Mr Ronan is growing up! He is almost 1 1/2yrs old, it's hard to believe. He is going VERY well and is still a very happy and placid baby. He was weighed this week and is now 10.5kgs, 79cms length, 48cm head circ and he is at the same weight for his "corrected age".

His physio has been going well. He can sit for longer periods of time ie: 15 mins. He can crawl out of the sitting position BUT he doesn't know how to sit from crawling, he sits on his knee's and thinks that is the proper way which it isn't of course so we have been trying to show him the proper way. In typical Ronan style he'd prefer to do it his own way. He is now standing against furniture as well and very steadily.

He now says "mum", "bubba", "i got", and occasionally says "dad" although that isn't his favourite word. He babbles to himself ALOT and loves to mimick any noises we make, especially coughing as he thinks it is very funny.

The paed wants us to watch him with his sleeping/breathing because he snores alot of late so he is worried that he may have inflammed adenoids. If he seems to have restless sleeping he will need to have a sleep study done and once they gather the data from that he just might need to have them taken out. I have noticed since the paed mention about the adnoids that he is always looking tired, so maybe just maybe this has been a problem for a while but we never realised it was because we were not aware of it? either way i will update you on this next month.

My website L'il Aussie Prems (www.lilaussieprems.com.au) is going very well. The site was created because i have a prem baby & know how difficult it is and wanted to offer online support to parents. It has recently been in parenting magazines and local papers which is very exciting! and i am off to Sydney in August for a National Premmie Day meeting.

I have added a few pics of Ronan in his profile so you can see just how big he has grown.
