1lb 5oz to3 years old, happy and healthy, thriving little boy!

During our nicu journey, the feeling of wanting to help Bryce was overwhelming- we were limited to What we could actually do . We knew he needed the care he was receiving medically , but we didn’t realize was how important and how necessary some Of the “simplest forms of care”, WE, as his parents, was just as important and soothing to both him, and us. One of our doctors, seeing how distraught we were, sat down with us for quite a while to explain how bonding, talking, the sounds of our voice, and reading- anything, book newspaper article Anything, could help him become familiar with our voice And help aide in brain development. Reading became our everyday to do, each visit, a few times each visit.
