Usually we take the bulk of the pictures around the weekend. On Friday though, ms. Katie decided to get sick, and sick she got. So Friday was spent with velcro baby that was miserable even on all the drugs, with fever that got up over 103, and all fun like that. Saturday was a bit better, but not enough for our scheduled babysitter to be able to ( Read more... )

Had to take a picture of the form I filled out at Katie's pediatrician appointment today. Sorry for the quality, phone and running away toddler don't make it easy. Other than the "parents are" question, you can also see under my palm "mother/ guardian 2", before that it says "father /guardian 1". Gotta love my doc ( Read more... )

About a week ago we went back to the developmental pediatrician and got the results of all the testing. Simon scored really high on preacademic skills, in the top 5%. He scored moderately well and within norm on pretty much everything else, including understanding speech, but low on expressive speech. None of this is a surprise. It is also highly ( Read more... )

Si went to the dentist for the first time on Friday. I know, I know, it's late. Anyway, Stacey took him. The office has wii's in the waiting room, so Si was happy to discover wii baseball, we should try it at home sometimes! The dentist herself was very good with kids, always describing what she was doing in advance, letting Si try things out, and ( Read more... )

Long post on the developmental pediatrician's testing that Si went through on Monday. Nothing particularly interesting.
On the video you can see the the test cards that were shown to Si. Each one of them is split into four squares. The questions were started easy "show me the ball", and got harder and harder - show me the largest ball, show me " ( Read more... )

Katie has completed her teeth plan for the first year. She now offically has all 16 teeth, which hopefully will give her a break until she turns two. And so that I don't have to write another post, she is 26 lb 2 oz, and 32 inches long. The pediatrician says that she is perfectly OK in every way shape or form. And on personal front, she learned the ( Read more... )

it seems that Katie would like to grow all of her teeth at once. On Friday she ran a fever, and on Saturday the pediatrician didn't find anything wrong with her, other than upcoming canine. On Sunday number 14, upper right cuspid made its appearance. So for the last week the little girl has been cranky as all get out. I sincerely hope that we get a ( Read more... )

Yesterday Katie went to the pediatrician, for her 6 months appointment. Stacey forgot to take the measurements home, but the girl is somewhere around 21.5 lb and 27 inches, and head circumference that is off the charts. Katie got her regular shots, plus two flu shots, poor baby, but there was no noticed ill effects at all.
Anyway, we gave her ( Read more... )
