One of my favorite parenting websites is BabyCenter. To my delight, they referenced my “Is your infant getting too much fluoride?” article in their discussion about what kind of water should be used in formula.
Since I used to work as a Registered Nurse with premature infants and because Sammy was born six weeks early, I browsed through the Preemie Parenting section. I came across “That was then this is now: A Picture Thread” where parents posted photos of their children at birth and again several months or years later.
This inspired me to gather pictures of Sammy to document his growth from 5 pounds, 1.5 ounces at birth to 34.5 pounds at 3 1/2 years old!
Look how Sammy has grown!
