6 Months of Growing!






Today is Tori's 6 month birthday!  These pictures show just how far she has come in terms of her strength.  She used to hate tummy time and I was lucky if she would be on her tummy for a minute without screaming.  But now as she gets stronger, she likes it and has been moving her arms and legs around like she wants to crawl.  The top picture is the most recent one, taken a few days ago.  The bottom picture was one of her first tummy times after leaving the hospital.  What a difference!  And my favorite kind of tummy time is when she is laying on my stomach and will lift her head up so nicely to look up at me and smile..... she is growing so quickly!  While Tori is actually 6 months old today, she also has an "adjusted age" which is based on her due date, August 3.  So Tori's adjusted age is about 4 months, and the doctor looks for her to be acting more like a 4 month old baby at this point.  They use the adjusted age for milestones in preemies until their 2nd birthday.  I think Tori is doing pretty well!
