Cohen turned 2 months old yesterday!!! I really can't believe it - 2 whole months - not hours!! Other than the feedings, he is really a pretty easy baby. He sleeps well during the day and at night. He loves his baths!! About a week ago, I laid him in it and he instantly went to sleep!!! He is starting to like his play gym a little more so that is fun. He smiles a lot and loves to coo. He makes lots of different noises and will talk back to you. Too cute. He loves to be naked and to have a clean diaper on. He likes his mobile and instantly cries when it turns off. He still doesn't love to eat and he hates going to the bathroom too. Feedings are maybe slightly better but we're still on bottles. He was about 8 lbs at the pulmonologist on Monday.

So..We went to the pulmonologist and we are weaning his amount of oxygen down. He is on about the lowest dose now and we'll keep him there until our follow up in June. His lung xrays looked good but the radiologist didn't do a comparison to his ones from the NICU so we're waiting to hear about that.

We go to the cardiologist on Thursday and to the geneticist next Monday. We also have his NICU follow up next week. I am interested to see how all of those go.

We have a coarse of action for Chris now but are waiting for insurance approval( gotta love them). They have def. diagnosed him with Ankylosing Spondylitis and he will be taking Humira for it. We are glad for treatment but not crazy about the side effects. It will lower Chris' immune system and make him more susceptible to infections - especially respiratory infections - not what we need in our house!!! We are just going to have to exercise trust in God through all of that. We know he is faithful.

Cort's ear infection was all cleared up so no ENT for now! Yea!!
