Today we celebrate 1 year since the end of our very long NICU journey

DS has come a long way and we are so very proud of him. I look back on everything that happened in those long 15 weeks and still can't believe he made it home. He is doing nearly everything he should be for 12 mths corrected but is a little below average with his gross motor skills. He can crawl but can't yet stand without holding on to something even though he flies around the house with his activity walker.

His vocab currently consists of :-

Mum
Dad
Mmbar - Amber
Ta
Haaa - hi & by
Umnum- food
Mma-kiss
Brrmbrmm-whilst pushing his toys around the floor

He loves books and initiates games like row, row your boat, open shut them & peek a boo - very cute as he covers his ears not his eyes. He shakes his head for "no", waves, claps, blows kisses & gives beautifully sloppy kisses and the best cuddles. ATM he's into pointing at things, sticking his finger up his nose and sticking his finger down his throat

The one thing that hasn't changed and I don't want to change in the near future is how good it feels when he fall asleep nestled into my chest.

He is my little miracle
