Walker at 1 Month

Walker had his first monthly birthday in the NICU unfortunately but the nurses were really sweet to help me take pictures of him with his little sticker while he was getting weighed on October 23.  He weighed right under 6 pounds, 5 pounds and 15.4 ounces.  At one month, Walker was eating 45 ml every 3 hours by tube, and was still on oxygen, feeding tube, and several medicines.  He wasn't doing very many new things since he was still quite sick.  Preemies will tend to be behind in development for the first year, at least, for the number of weeks or months that they were early. So Walker will be doing things about 2 months behind the full-term baby's milestone chart.  He will catch up by 1 to 2 years and we won't be able to tell I'm sure.  I don't know his length but he still has a full head of hair, and his eyes are getting a little lighter.  I think they'll either be dark blue or green/hazel because they are already lighter than Savannah's which are brown.

Now for the pictures!
