Fighting Monsters with Rubber Swords

So last night was sleep study. Spencer's oxygen levels stayed in the low 90's, which is strange for him since he is usually in the mid 90's. He was pretty stuffed up, so it could be the root of it. I figure they'll probably want to do a repeat in 3 months. Either way it goes, I'm refusing to put him back on oxygen at night. He hates it. Now just to get all the glue out of his hair...

A bit of good news from yesterday. Spencer is allowed to be out of his braces for 6 hours a day! This is a huge improvement on his quality of life. Hopefully he will be able to catch up on the sitting up stuff and finish rolling over. He's getting pretty good at both, but hasn't mastered them yet.

His 9 month check up was on Tuesday. He is in the teens for both height and weight, and his head is down to 75th percentile. My crazy baby seems to be coming more and more proportional. He is starting to take a lot more by mouth. He ate 1/4th a jar of baby food the other day, and can eat a whole serving of yogurt melts. He can even eat the puffed cereal pretty well now, although a serving is like 73 pieces, which isn't happening anytime soon.
