  My Birth Story

I was born at Metro Health Medical Center on March 22, 2005. I was early by 1 month and 1 week. I weighed 5 Lbs 12 oz and 18.11 inches tall. I had to stay in the nicu for 10 days so they could do tests and make sure I was o.k. I did have a bit of Jaundice, but the bili lights cleared that up for me. They thought I had Apnea of Pre-Maturity, I was sent home after 10 days on April 1, 2005 with a heart rate monitor. They took the monitor back after a month because I was doing just fine on my own. Me, Mommy and Daddy are so happy to finally be together.

 


I went into my big boy bed on 1-7-2007 and I love it. I get to go and play in my room by myself for awhile now.

I play all the time. I now actually play with my toys and not just boxes or cans.

I love Spongebob Square pants and I can even sing the song. I also love to watch Sesame street and Jimmy Neutron. I always sing, dance and act silly when they come on..

I can count to 3. I forget one so its 2-3.. I also know a few letters from the alphabet A-E-OI can say 1-2-3 now.

I use the potty about 1/2 of the time - not bad.

I love to play outside with my doggy Pepe'.

as of 4/20/07 I love to dance, sing, play and still love my Spongebob square pants.

2-28-2008 I still love Spongebob - but my new obsession is Thomas the train. I know my numbers pretty well up to 10, now quite a bit of my alphabet, I can spell my name. The other day I answered the phone all by myself too. I am getting so big - next month I will be going to see doctor Arnett for my 3yr check up and I will let you know how great I am doing.


I talk like crazy now

No - go - cookie - where are you - cracker -
ball - na/na (sippy) - night night - cheese - baby - pepe' - mommy/mama/mom -
daddy(first word) & dad - eat - Clay - T - pop - dog - Kade - mine - socks (cocks) -
shoes - spongebob - Hi - down - cool - play - truck - car - two - three - eight - go away - M&M's - Puggy - grandma - Joe Joe - Kathy - stop - help - sucker - Uh Oh - ouch - wow - one - outside - cocky - pee - pee pee - bye bye - don't know - milk - boo - rain - ocean - purple - what - grandpa -

REPEATS just about anything you say!!! 6/2007

I have lost track - I repeat EVERYTHING. I talk from the moment I open my eyes to the time they close.


[A whole bunch more - I will list as I remember]

(You can wait to hit play till the Spongebob song is over)
