Wearing clothes!!

Now, anyone with a baby who spent any amount of time in the NICU, knows how the very little things can be THE most exciting. Things like sucking on a pacci for the first time. Drinking from a breast or bottle for the first time. The first audible cry. Turning off the warmer bed.

Off the warmer!!

Finally wearing clothes

Things that most new parents don't even consider a big deal, are huge milestones to a parent of a NICU baby. It will take David much longer than your average child to reach typical milestones. Like rolling, holding up head and neck, sitting unsupported, crawling, eating solids, using a sippy cup, walking,  etc. He is two years old and cant do any of those things. But I know that when David does do all these things, I will appreciate it in a way, that only a parent of a special child can!!!
