I love it when Luke smiles. Especially because it doesn't happen very often. Something that has been worrying me and Nate is that Luke doesn't make eye contact with us very often. When he does, it makes me so happy, but it just doesn't happen as often as I would expect.
A couple weeks ago, Luke had an appointment with a pediatric ophthalmologist. At his 2 month check-up, I pointed out to the pediatrician that Luke's right eye often looks outward. It makes me wonder if he has a hard time focusing on us. Our pediatrician referred us to the ophthalmologist, who told us that it's too early to say whether or not he has a real eye problem. Infants are sometimes delayed in their vision, and their eye muscles may need time to develop and strengthen. He said at 6 months we will re-evaluate and see if it's still an issue.
I feel like things keep coming up that worry me about Luke. I love him to death and I just hope that he is able to have a normal, healthy life. It's scary when you feel like your baby isn't seeing you or reacting to you. Hopefully I'm just worrying over nothing.
