Oxygen Test

Jack had an eventful week. He practiced holding his own bottle, with Charlie watching. He had his pulse ox test for 24 hours. We disconnected the oxygen supplement, and hooked him up to a pulse ox to measure oxygen saturation of his blood. He did great - he stayed above 90 pretty much the whole time - or at least when the machine was reading accurately. It did think that the pack n play had a heart rate of 206 but only a pulse ox of 62%.
The results won't be official until his pediatrician appt next week, but we went ahead and took him off the oxygen. He's thrilled!
He's growing out of his 0-3 month sized outfits and is close to being out of his 3 month ones as well. (Modeling some Osh Kosh overalls courtesy of Grammy.)
He's also figured out how to suck his thumb; he was working intently on it for the past 3 days or so. He still needs to perfect his technique, but he's gotten pretty good at it.

Gosh! He's getting to be such a big boy. Holding his bottle, off oxygen, sucking thumb, outlet shopping. =) So proud of the little guy. LOVE his big smile...and that chair looks fun...especially when he's in charge of the remote control! =) That's what AJ first rolled over to reach. =)
