Who's ready for some summer fun?








Things are going well at the Rasmussen-Mancuso residence. Nicholas saw his pediatrician last week and is up to 13 pounds 8 ounces and is 23.5 inches long. That puts him in the 50% for weight and 25% for height for his corrected age of 3 months. He is tracking well on the growth charts. One of the only milestones where they use his real birth date, is for immunizations. He received his 6 month shots on Thursday. That is never a fun time for either Moms or Nicholas. He did well with them thanks to a little bit of Tylenol.

Nicholas is doing a great job of holding his head up these days and sits fairly well with little support. He is also smiling and giggling more, which is fun. He is still on 1/8 liter of oxygen. We see pulmonary on August 2nd with hopes of decreasing the amount or only having him on it at night and when he eats. Speaking of nightime, in the last week, Nicholas slept 7-9 hours at a time a few times. We look forward to many more nights like that. Now, if only we could get to sleep when he does...Nicholas is all decked out in Hawkeye gear compliments of his great aunt/uncle in Iowa City. He wore the outfit to the farmers market in Madison and got by with it in heavy Badger country. We assumed it was because of his age :).

We hope you are all tolerating the heat. We look forward to seeing a lot of you at the end of the month for our "thank you" party.

Denise, Denise and Nicholas

  1. How great you look Nicholas in the true black and gold. Wonderful report card from the doctor's office too. Keep up the good work. Don't spoil the Moms too much by sleeping through the night. They really do like getting up to sit with you in the middle of the night. You are soooooo cute.
    All our love to the three of you.
