Gavins Developmental Follow up

The Hospital that Gavin was born at has a program where they track the progress of the preemies and watch for developmental delays and then tell you how to bring them up to the stage they need to be or if you need to go to a specialists they well catch it earlier then a dr would.

Well Gavin's chronological ge is 4 3/4 months, but his corrected age ( what he should have been) is 3 1/2 months.

He is doing great growing, His head size is in the 90th percentiles, his weight (16.4 lbs) is in the 75th percentiles and his size (24 in.) is in the 25th percentiles. It looks like he got cursed with being short like me. We can hope not.

His reflexes are at a 5 month level, grasping is at a 2 month level, visual motor skills is at 4 months. his expressions are at 3 months and comprehension is at 3 months.

Over all he is doing really well, Just have to work on using our arms and holding things. He is doing Great and now we are just waiting for Christmas!!

Hehe.... can I call him Shorty II? Wow, I hadn't realized there was still so much to keep an eye on. I'm glad he's doing ok. And way to go reflexes!
