The title says 'Other Pet Galleries' ... well Dieter is not really a pet, he's my son.
He has a birthday coming up in November and I would like to show you some then and now pictures.

Dieter was born two months premature.
In the beginning he fought for his little life and we were afraid he wasn't going to make it.
Then a nurse told me that premature babies often grow into the biggest and strongest people.
She was right.
Dieter who was born with a body weight of 4 lbs and only 10 inches long.
He is now 6'4"

CELEBRATING HIS FIRST BIRTHDAY WITH A PRESENT ...



AND A CAKE



HE GREW UP QUITE THE HANDY MAN ...



AND THE COMPUTER GEEK



NOW HE'S A GRAPHIC DESIGNER



He's the one in the red Jeff Gordon shirt and as you can see, he's quite a bit taller than his colleagues.

Nice...What a place to put his picture.

My grandson was born 3 month early and was 2.9# and today he is Kindergarten. He too struggled for each breath he took. Now he is a typical 5 yr old. Thanks for sharing.

Conny, Dieter is a nice look young man.
How fast the years go by

LOL I didn't know where else to put it.

And yes, Jellybean, the years do go by fast, and I have the gray hairs to prove it.
