They say by the age of 2 most preemies should have caught up to there peers and you no longer have to adjust for their age. For the record, as of next week Hailey's actual age will be 26 months, adjusted 24 months. We may no longer have to adjust her age, but we will forever be changed by her entrance into this world and she will always be our little miracle.
Today we had Hailey's official two year check-up. Drumroll please ... Hailey is on the charts and by a pretty good margin - 20%! The two extra months I waited to schedule her check-up helped :-) She weighed in at 24lbs, 11oz and 32 and 1/2 inches. Not bad for starting at 2lbs, 15oz a couple years ago! Her pediatrician was quite impressed with her progress. She would like to see us wean Hailey off her reflux meds in the next 2 months and see how it goes. The miralax we will continue for now as needed. And believe it or not we don't have to see the doctor for a year! YEAH! Lets hope we keep healthy through the winter and can really stay away.

Congrats to you Amanda and Timmy for doing such a great job to nurse your little preemie to be such a "big" 2-year-old. Alyssa was 20% at age 2 also, however she started 4 times as big as Hailey:-)
Yea for Hailey!! (and mommy and daddy). What an awesome milestone. Not only has Hailey been a blessing to everyone but the way you two have handled everything that has come at you from the time she was born has been a really blessing to watch as well. :) We are privileged to call you friends.
way to go hailey!
Reaching those milestones are
such a great thing, aren't they?
I'm sure her daddy-like appetite
may have something to do with
it...ha ha
