6 month check up

Last Thursday was Connors 6 month check up. Poor dude had to have two vials of blood drawn to test for thyroid and blood count/anemia. In addition he got his 6 month shots. Boo! He was not happy and sleep for about 3 hours. Mr. Big stuff weighed in at 13 pounds 11 oz. the Dr is very pleased with his growth. 

We did get a referral to see a neurologist. The back of his head is pretty flat. It's so frustrating because I really had been working on alternating positions. But the Dr. Reassured me, I was doing what I could and it has a lot to do with muscle tone. She said the neurologist might tell us that he doesn't need a helmet but if he does it's pretty common these days. I'm fine either way. But  I'd prefer he not have to wear a helmet 23 hours a day for the next 3 months or so. 

We also had a AI (they work with partial to deaf kids) come out yesterday to assess Connor and see if we qualify for her services. She asked a whole bunch of  questions and based on our answers, Connor is where a 2-4 month old in the sounds he's making. So we will be adding that service once a week to our others with ECI. She will also be incorporating sign language in that time and I'm very excited about that! 

This is our little buddy after the dr. Visit. They drew blood from his arm :( and he had a whole bunch of band aids from his 3 shots.
