the Headley Family(:

As I write this, Joey's just sitting in his bouncer, talking excitedly and watching our dog Sarg. I cannot believe that my little stallion turned 6 months about 13 days ago. Where has time gone?! It seriously feels like just last week we found out we were pregnant. It's true what other parents say, blink and you'll miss it. Any who(: Weight  14 lbs 11 oz Length 25.2 in Clothes Size Some 3-6 and 6 months.  Hair Coming in nicely. Finally has been growing hair in his little old man hairline. Still brown. Eyes To my amazement, his eyes are still a beautiful blue Sleeping Sleeps about 6-8 hours a night. Takes 2-4 naps a day, length varies on the day (as many other parents probably know) Eating Alimentum (hypoallergenic formula). Still has the feeding tube. Still feed him overnight with a drip (continuous) feed and he gets about 120 mLs every 3 hours during the day. Overall goal is at least 28 oz a day.

Soon Joey will will be 6 months old. That's half a year. My only question is, HOW?!  Weight  12 lbs. 3 oz. Length Unsure once again Clothes Size 3-6 month (finally moving on up!) Hair Slowly but surely growing. Hair on the back is shorter and he has a bald spot. Hair color is light brown Eyes to my amazement, his eyes are still a beautiful blue Sleeping Been taking little longer naps lately and sleeps a good minimum of 5-6 hours a night.  Eating Now on Alimentum (hypoallergenic formula). Still has the feeding tube. His goal is to eat a minimum of 110 mLs every 3 hours. What he doesn't eat on his own, we feed him through the tube. At night, since he seems to be extra sleepy, we do a continuous feed so we don't have to bother him. This month Starting to tolerate tummy time. He loves his piano mat!  We've been able to keep gloves off him so he's been really catching up-using his hands more, playing with his feet, reach

So far this year, our little man has had to be admitted to the hospital 3 times. Making it a total of 4 hospitals stays so far in his life. It's been stressful to say the least. Hospital Stay #1 Beginning of January, little man had bronchiolitis. Which, if you don't already know, is a viral infection of the bronchioles (the small airways in the lungs). We had just gotten back from visiting Reece's family for Christmas. He had to stay in the hospital for about 5 days. He spent 3 days in the PICU (Pediatric Intesive Care Unit) and then the rest of his stay on the regular Peds floor. He had to get scheduled breathing treatments to help break up anything in his lungs and to help him breathe better. Other than that, they were just monitoring him and giving him any support he needed to get over the "hump" of the cold. My maternity leave had just ended and I was starting ALS (Airman Leadership School). I knew being in ALS, I wasn't going to be able to be at the ho

Tomorrow Little Man will be 5 months already! So this is me trying to catch up by posting his 4 month picture and facts(: Unfortunately, with everything we had going on in the beginning of January, I forgot to take his 3 month picture!                                                                                                                                                             As you can see, he wasn't the happiest baby when I was taking these pictures ;) Weight Around 11 lbs. 12 oz. Length Can't remember =/ Clothes Size 3 month Hair Hair starting to grow back in all over Eyes BLUE! Sleeping Takes a couple 30 min to 2 hour naps during the day and sleeps for two 4-5 hour sessions at night/early morning.  Eating Fully on formula (Similac Sensitive). Eating between 3-4 oz every 3-4 hours.  This month Still hates tummy time. Likes to play on his piano mat but doesn't quite reach for the dangling toys. Attacks
