5 Months

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, reaching for stuff, etc. He likes peek-a-boo and being told that "oh wow!" and "good job!".

It was Thursday and also the last day of the training class I was in for work. I got up and got ready to try to survive the day. I wasn't going to let a cold stop me. For the last day, we spent the morning just going over one of the loading systems we use and then after lunch we were going to end the class with a class evaluation. Being a seasoned AMMO troop, I stood off to the side so the younger, newer members could get more hands on training. Half-way through the morning, I started to feel a weird sensation in my left arm. It also was harder to breathe than it was when I first woke up. Noticing this, I start
