Catching up

X had is 12 month well check at Children's high risk clinic about two weeks ago..He was tested in all areas of development and did wonderful..He tested around the 10 1/2 month range for speech, expressive language and cognitive skills, fine motor skills and right around his adjusted age for gross motor skills..We were sent to a physical therapist at another Childrens hospital to see if Xander was having some tone issues..The OT at his well visit thought he might of had a mild case of low tone in his trunchal area(or belly)..And she was right..The PT said X has mild to moderate low tone in that area and that is what has kept him from traditionally crawling(he army crawls everywhere)..He also struggles to pull himself up and has some balance issues(all from having a weaker belly)..I was a little surprised since X had always met his milestones and at every well check there were never any issues, but that's o.k. we now know what's going on and I have been doin exercises with him everyday, and can already see improvement in his balance..Along with the home exercises we take him to childrens twice a month for PT..He's still a superbaby in my opinion!! X was 24 lbs and almost 29 1/2 inches!! It was awesome seeing his growth chart...just watching the numbers go up over the past year..The doc said it is amazing how quickly he has caught up!! Here are some pics of the doc visit and some random ones..Gotta love those cellphone pics!
