I did it

I'm happy to report that Lydia actaully got her hair done today (and no, Aunt Amy wasn't babysitting) I actaully did her hair and it turned out. I wanted you all to see her true potential (as well as mine) Honey, your mommy loves you and I'm sorry it's taken this long...I hope you and I have many good hair days to look forward to!

Update...

Lydia had her big evaluation from the therapist today. He was so nice and she was a little ham! She was really showing off her skills. It turns out she's right on track with everything besides the gross motor skills (walking)...just as we suspected! He did say that she has low muscle tone and pointed out a few things to show that is the case. She'll need a little extra help from us, but she is not far enough out of the normal range to qualify for the physical therapy. The therapist thinks she'll be walking and running in 6-8 weeks-I hope so. We didn't get the humungo back yard for nothin'...I'm hoping for a fun summer of running and playing!

In other news...



She had her first hair cut on Saturday at Cookie Cutters! Isn't she a cutie!

Lydia's 18 Month Stats

We had Lydi's 18 month well-check on Friday and here is what we found out...

Weight: 25 lbs. 12 oz. (70%)
Height: 32 1/2 in. (99%)
Head: 50.4 cm. (98%)

The Dr. said in terms of Lydia's head and height she is about 11 months ahead of most kids her age. It looks like she might be taking right after mommy who was a head taller than everyone all the way through sixth grade and who will NEVER be able to wear a hat in public. Sorry Lydi bug!

In other news...she had pink eye, which is slowly clearing up with the anti-biotics. The doctor said to triple the amount of Miralax we've been giving her to soften her stool (poor thing!) AND she has to start physical therapy because she is not walking well enough for her age. She also has to have a CT scan this week...I am trying to figure out if this is because she is not walking or because her head is so big, or the combination? I may be making a call to the doctor in the morning.
