Today Luis is off his monitor. Luis is a REAL boy now. No more tubes or wires. He is doing great. Mommy found out she can work part time for a while. She gets to spend more time with Luis, lucky girl.

Height: 19 inches Luis is in the 25 percentile for his weight and the 5 percentile for his height (shorty). He gets that from his mother. hehe
Luis had a doctors appointment today. Luis' weight shows less then the weight at the daycare center. We don't think this is right. Someones scale might be off. hehe
Luis had four vaccines today. They were Polio, HIB, DTP and hepatitis. These were his second set of vaccines.
Luis' hernias have gone away and his little belly button (which we thought was another hernia) is ok and is normal for preemies.

Luis smiled for Mommy today for the very first time. Well at least the first time for a reason. He would (on occasion) smile in his sleep, but not when we played with him.
