This week we had a few doctor's appointments for Braeden. Every few months we see Dr. Gus, a developmental specialist and his team. They evaluate Braeden and make sure we are doing everything to help him grow and progress to catch up to other babies his age. The appointment went really well. The physical therapist gave us more ideas and things to work on with Braeden. He is doing all the activities that a 10 month old is and some older. They evaluate Braeden based on his adjusted age which was 9 month 27 days for the appointment.
Braeden's 1 yrs stats:
Weight: 18.7 pounds (30 % on preemie chart)
Height: 27 3/4 inches (25% on preemie chart)
Head circumference: 16 1/2 inches (not on chart )
Mike plotted Braeden's statistics on the regular chart and he is not quite at the 5th percentile. So, he's a little guy for now. He fits right into our family!! Braeden did a fabulous job showing off all his skills. We are so proud of him!
