18-month checkup



Truman had his 18-month appointment today and great news: He grew 1 lb, 2.5 ounces over the last five weeks. He's back onto his growth curve. (See the chart above plotting him for his adjusted age of 14 months). He has also grown to 28 inches!

The pediatrician is very happy with his physical development and says we won't see a cerebral palsy diagnosis after all. He pronounced him at about 15 months in terms of gross motor skills, which is older than his adjusted age!

He does see problems in cognition and "major" problems with regard to speech, but is generally quite pleased with Truman overall and as usual, pronounces him to be in quite good health.

Truman's newest pictures and really cute and I can't even say how thrilled we are about the 18mo check-up!! I am so looking forward to Palm Sunday when I get to see him again. Every day another victory. Love to all three, Mom
