18 Months

Just had Luke's 18-month checkup today. He's in the 41st percentile for head circumference, 5th for height, and weighing in at a whopping 21 pounds puts him in the 2nd percentile for weight. The nickname "Peanut Baby" seems to still be ringing true. Combined with his developmental delays the doc is concerned, not enough to recommend a developmental ped ASAP but put it out on the table and will write the referral if we decide to go that route in the near future. I don't know, we'll have to talk about it.

Yeah, so six months later...

Lukey is doing pretty well in PT. He still can't walk but he took a step last night, he went from hanging on to the coffee table to reaching for his rocking horse and taking a step to get there. He can also kick at a ball if he's holding on to something (he can also say "ball", in addition to "mamamamamama" and "dada") and he loves to play catch. They think as soon as he starts walking he'll be done with therapy.

Adam is doing pretty well in school. He's a superstar in math but needs a little bit of help in reading, so twice a week he stays after school for some extra help. Sounds more like playtime to me, but I can tell it really does help :) They do games and activities and play outside, so it's not like he's getting intensive tutoring at 5 years old or anything. We have conferences in 2 weeks so we'll be able to see how much he has improved since last trimester.
