After countless attempts...it finally happened!




So, Daddy was the first one to get Dane to actually laugh! It was the cutest, sweetest, most precious, amazing (you get the picture) sound in the world! Of course I had the camera at arms distance so I snapped some photos of yet another milestone that this little man has hit! Hopefully we will not have to hold him like this every time we want to hear him laugh...at almost 17 lbs it may get old!




Dane had his first eye exam outside of the NICU, for those of you who aren't in the preemie world...even if preemies dodge the ROP bullet, they are still at extreme risk for having crossed eyes, near sightedness and lazy eye. We went to the doc yesterday and she said that his eyes look great and we don't have to go back for another year! Wow, another doctor crossed of the list! (until next year that is)

Hooray for another milestone....and what a wonderful milestone it is!!!!! There is nothing better than the laughter of a child.

Also, great news from the eye doctor. John had Stage 1 ROP which resolved itself however, he did have surgery last Nov. for strabismus (cross eyed.) Luckily, my Dad is an eye Dr. so he's keeping a close eye on my little man. So far so good though!

Dane is the cutest
Dane is the best
He loves to laugh
And he passed his eye test

He is the biggest blessing
We're so glad that he is here
He fills these Smiths
With BUCKETS of love and cheer!

I'm so happy to see him smiling and now laughing! GO DANE!!
