Happy Boy!

Cameron is such the smiling guy we can't get over it! Looks like he's going to be quite the flirt...he does this adorable thing where he smiles so wide and then gets all shy and turns his head into his shoulder.
He also working very hard on "tummy time" so that we can get him to lift up his head on his own. He is making some very good progress. Overall Cameron is on track in terms of development for his Corrected Age of almost 3 months but we are working with his therapists to close the gap and aim to get him up to his gestational age of 5 months. PT comes every Friday and we had the first appt with Occupational Therapy on Tuesday. Mom learned some new exercises to work on with Cameron. It's very hard to remember all the things we need to do with Cameron; anyone who knows me knows that I like a schedule and specific instructions so I'm learning how to manage getting in all the "therapy work" every day with Cameron - it's hard! And I will admit sometimes it's hard to hear all the things that Cameron is "NOT" doing that they'd like to see him doing, but we keep it all in check and are very proud of how far he has come!
This coming Monday is our follow up with the NICU Developmental Clinic, so it will be interesting to get feedback from their end.
Today Cameron got his eyes dialated, he didn't mind it too much. Right now we've got a good report on the eyes which is great. Hydrocephalus often can affect the optic nerves. So we will follow up in 6 months for another check. We are very happy and relieved to get a good report for now!
Next week will also be another check in with the Pediatrican and the first does of Synagis.
We are pretty sure Cameron is going to be a Lion for Halloween! We'll be sure to post some photos. For now enjoy these of him working on his tummy time, trying on his winter hat and spending some QT with mom.
PS - I want to clarify in the last post the 2nd photo is not Cameron, it's his friend Charlie. Some people were amazed at how big Cameron was - he is, but he's not at the 6month old size yet :) Charlie is a cutie!!!
