Parenting: Preemies Community
Premature babies get special love and come with special concerns. Gather here ... more
Both stats are between 10-15% on the growth chart...so at least he's proportionate! heehee 
We hadn't gotten any direction on what to feed him since he was 6 months old, but it looks like we've been feeding him right. We had transitioned to whole milk at 12 months, and have been feeding him several small meals of veggies, fruit, some meat, eggs, pasta, etc...
I was surprised to see that the doc said he has hit all of his milestones. He has just started standing up and can "cruise" from 1 piece of furniture to the next. I always see posts of "he's walking!" on the boards, and I was getting a bit anxious, but it looks like it's very normal for him to be where he is!
He did get 4 shots today, including the MMRs...I am nervous about any reactions he might get. I hear they can happen as late as a week or so after the injection. So...good thoughts and prayers my little guy's way.
Hope everyone's little one's are doing great!
