My Ex Lil Premature Baby
I can’t believe in 4 months Ronan will be 2 years old! To remember that he was my lil premature baby and now he is my big baby is hard to believe at times. He is going very well in all aspects although he isn’t walking yet. We are doing quite a few exercises to help him progress with his walking but he has only just started to walk forward. Something that he thinks is hilarious is to walk on his knee’s. We are trying to discourage him from doing so but i can see that he won’t be walking for quite a while yet.
He was weighed and measured the other day and he is now 11.4kgs, 84cms in length and his head is 49cms. He amazes many professionals with just how big he really is. He is an awesome eater! pretty much eats everything that i give him. If we let him eat every hour he would, he loves his food that much. Apparently we are very lucky because alot of premature babies are actually quite fussy with their foods.
He now brings me books to read to him, climbs on and off the couch including our bed which is actually quite high. Walks around the furniture like it is going out of style, waves hello and goodbye and many other things. He is very good with his words and says hello dad, bye, hello, hi, mum, dad, i got, i know, bot bot, cat and does alot of babbling to himself.
Ronan and i will be going to the hospital on Tuesday the 20th for a sleep study. Ronan always tends to have bags under his eyes and snores quite alot whilst asleep so we believe that he is not getting enough sleep at night (disturbed sleep). We saw the specialist and they want him to have it done. If there is an issue there it is very likely that the problem is his adnoids which will need to be removed. It will be amazing having a baby/toddler that doesn’t have bags under his eyes. We are so used to them that we don’t even notice his eyes until someone comments “did he just wake up” even if he has been awake for a few hours.
I will keep you updated with how his sleep study goes. Considering he seems to have broken sleep he is always on the go and has bundles of energy!

Ronan is just gorgeous!
Good luck with the sleep study. We have just been through this with Ivy. It is an experience.
I am looking forward to reading your updates!

Hello
Wow look at Ronan. I only just found your blog when I was trying to look up info on the 2 year corrected assessment so I could start prepping Erin for it hehe
Anyway he is looking so cute and is going so very well. Can he send some eating vibes to Erin, she is very picky and still my tiny little pixie.
Anyway congrats on how well he is doing you should be really proud.
take care
Kim, Dean and Erin
