In order to avoid a Facebook overload, but keep our families and friends informed without non-stop texting and phone calls...

I created this blog to tell the story of our Baby Boy arrival into the world as a premie.

My water broke March 22nd at 26 weeks pregnant and our Max was born March 25th just before 2:00 in the morning.

Early Intervention

Max had an initial assessment today at our house to make him an individual tracking plan for the Early Intervention program.

The results made me SO happy!  Based on his adjusted age Max is almost 3 weeks old. 
Based on the assessment today Max is beyond his adjusted age.
  • Gross Motor skills- 6 week old
  • Cognitive Development - 6 weeks old
  • Language Development - 4 weeks old
  • Fine Motor Skills - 8 weeks old
  • Social Development Skills-8 weeks old
Max has met all of his 1 month milestones (leg/arm control, eyes can follow toys/people, comforted by being picked up and held, etc)  and all of his 2 month milestones ( grasps and holds objects for several seconds, head control while on tummy, making sounds, etc) except he isn't smiling yet. :) 


They gave me a lot of exercises and things I can work with him on to keep him moving forward, as well as things to watch for.
