Seth Weight Update!

So after 3 weeks of calling the Dr's office I finally got another appointment with our Dr. and for free!! We went in and he asked why we were here because Seth's weight looked fine!! I told him the whole story and he kept apologising. And at one point of the story I felt really bad because his mouth just kept dropping like really this all happened in 30 minutes!! And then he told me he was sorry for not being in the office more but he and his wife had just had a baby- and then I was annoyed that they couldn't just tell me that. I would have waited to take Seth in to see him when he was back!! Anyways he said Seth is growing perfect for his body. When we look at the growth chart he is gaining weight at a good pace (for him) and a good height. The Dr. said he is growing at the exact same rate as a kid on the 90th% would be growing. So I was glad to hear that I wasn't crazy and he will probably never be a huge kid- but look at me and Billy we are not huge!! So whatever that Lady sucked!! But now her boss knows and hopefully she will get a good talking too:)

So the other thing we have been working on with Seth is his speech. He has had 3 meetings with a speech therapist. The first 2 were awful she wasn't teaching him anything and told me I had to pick the 5 words I wanted him to learn and then teach them to him without teaching me how to teach him!! I was wondering what her purpose was. Today was much better. I kind of "guided her" in the direction I wanted to see the class going:) She actually talked at him and made him work and say sounds!! He did a great job today and is getting much better! But I think it is because he is learning that language has a meaning!! Today he even said "Snack" and he didn't cry and wasn't just babbling he really wanted a snack! It is awesome that he is learning and growing so much!! He is turning into a little boy!
A crazy, no fear, fun loving little boy but still a little boy!!

I am glad you got to see your doctor and get that off your chest. You would have been miserable if you didn't.

And good job Seth! I am glad that you can see some improvement.
