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.

Annie if it makes you feel any better Danny and I had to put our little boy Zach in physical therapy too. They said he wasn't walking well enough and was really late learning and that he didn't have enough muscle tone for his age. But it has been three months now since he graduated from physical therapy and you would never know he had a hard time with it. Once she picks up on it she will do great. Good Luck.
I know everything will be alright. The head size is totally normal for a baby that has the Taylor gene's just ask Jesi and Ryan. I am sure the CT is just a precaution and the results will be good. Physical Therapy is never a bad thing. Carson had a hard time hearing and was behind. After we put in tubes and had 6 months of speech therapy you would never know. The trick is doing it early. You have a good doctor if he is on it now. Good luck and keeps us posted.
Wow, she has to have a CT scan? My newer baby is having a CT scan and an MRI on Tuesday at Primarys for the opposite reason, her head is too small.
I'm sure that Lydia is just fine. She sure is a cutie!
