Hey Liz,

Most has been said here but my first son was born at 33weeks, and his cousin was born FT (on her due date) 4 days later. we lived interstate but regularly visited and when the two were together you could really tell the difference. Not only size wise but she rolled at 3m, Nixon at 5.5, Sat at 6 months, Nixon at 9months, crawled at 7months, Nixon at 11months and walked at 13 months Nixon at 15months.
even now she said all these words under the sun, Nixon babbles but most is not clear.

some premmies (also depends on how prem and if they had any complications early on) take up to 2 yrs to catch up, some can take up until they start school.

i found when ppl asked how old he was i would say his actual but explain he was really only his corrected age. some ppl understand others just look at you with a blank face and have no idea!

Now i have a FT son also and there is so much difference. He started smiling at 5wks (Nixon was about 10wks i think) he started rolling a few days ago, holds his head up really well, something that Nixon never did.

Was Tallon a big baby when he was born?
