Aariz's adjusted age

Yesterday march 13th was Aariz's 3rd month birthday. We weighted him using our own scale and he was about 3.1 to 3.2kg. I am not sure about term babies' weight growth, didnt really concern last time but for Aariz....having witnessed him when he was only 1.1kg....personally we think the development is remarkable.

At his current size, he now looks more like a normal term baby....kesian anak mummy!

We read in the internet that premie has adjusted age. The adjusted age is measured from the initial expected due date which for Aariz was supposed to be on Feb12th, therefore his adjusted is 1 month on the dot as at yesterday. This adjusted age should be used to measure premie's development until the day they match with kids' at his ACTUAL age or until he reaches 2 years old.

In his immunisation book (from the hospital), it is listed a few things that a baby of 3 months should be able to do, as below, together with my observations:

1) able to move his body- TICKED
2) able to cooing/squealing- TICKED
3) response to loud noise- TICKED
4) ability to smile back (when u smile at him)- I DONT THINK SO--but sometimes i think i did see it or was it my imigination....
5) ability to look at your face- TICKED


Well..there's no rush...we are not going anywhere, are we?
