Wyatt James: ...Blizzard of '16...

Have no fear, we survived (are surviving?) the blizzard of '16. We got around 24 inches of snow in our yard, 29.2 at BWI, which was a record. The most snowfall recorded in history at BWI. Insane. It started in the afternoon on Friday and continued through just before midnight last night. Anyway, on to the important stuff.

This is how Wyatt spent most of the blizzard.

Let's see... since our last update Wy Guy has packed on the pounds, er, ounces. On Thursday last week he was up to 5 pounds 8 ounces! We were released last week from weekly visits to the pediatrician and instead will just be monitored by the nurse next week, then we'll check back in with the pediatrician the following week.

That face. It melts my heart.

Last week we also had a visit from the occupational therapist. A referral was made to them because of the feeding issues he had in the NICU. She came out and gave me some things to work on with him in terms of developmental things like tummy time. She did notice he has a bit of a flat spot on the back of his head, but it isn't impacting in the front of his head. We will keep an eye on it and also work on positioning to be sure we balance it out. Our daily routine now includes time to work on positioning and playing on his kick 'n play piano. Tummy time in the traditional sense, which is typically on the floor playing, isn't working right now. Any time I try it with him, he screams. Super ironic because he loves to lay on his tummy on my chest and lifts his head up to look at me or turns to look around the room. Silly boy.
