Little Bug recently had his 15 month check up. He’s growing right on track and hitting all of his physical milestones. Overall, he’s doing great. The only thing I was worried about was that he wasn’t talking at all. In the ages and stages questionnaire, it indicated that at 15 months, most children have 3-5 […]

A little while back I posted about Juliet’s legs, which are slightly knocked kneed and bent outward due to her positioning in the womb. At the time I was coming to peace with my decision not to pursue any intervention after taking her to the orthopedic twice and being told she would become more conscious of it […]

Sweet P started Early Intervention a month ago, and it has been such a positive experience so far! We started with a developmental therapist/early childhood specialist who comes to our house once a week.

Our little Sweet P didn’t have the easiest first year. Between tongue/lip tie, reflux, colic, and an FPIES diagnosis, there was a whole lot of trial and error going on. So, it didn’t surprise us when she always seemed to be hitting milestones on the later range of “normal.” So much of those first few […]

This past week we had Juliet’s annual review — her last one ever as she will be discharged in June when she turns 3. As I talked to her service coordinator for the last time, we both remarked how much Juliet has changed from when she started the program as an eight month old baby, and is […]
