3 months/6 months

October 4 was Gus' 3-month birthday by due date, and October 11 was his 6-month birthday by birth date.

Any way you slice it, he's doing great. He had a follow-up with the cardiologist which showed his PDA at microscopic levels. Bottom line is that the prospect of corrective heart surgery in his future is looking less likely. So we're very happy about that.

And he's just feeling like a regular baby. He's rolled over a few times and is very smiley. His Occupational and Physical Therapy check-ups (don't ask me the difference in this context) have gone well. We have certain exercises we do with him, and it was recommended we get a Bumbo to build his upper body and neck strength. But, like I said, he's just our very chunky baby (over 12 pounds now).

Here are some pictures. Just remember, the camera adds 10 ounces.
