to the Pedi

I confess, we haven't been to the pediatrician since Isaiah was 9 months old. The boy has been healthy and strong and we haven't had any concerns ... however, every now and then it is just nice to get another opinion (and a skilled one at that).

Just gotta say, I totally Dr. Cooper. He is so calm and soothing, spending plenty of time observing Isaiah and asking questions about his development. Both Steve and I wonder just what would it take to rile the man. Any way... if you are keeping stats, the boy at 16 months old is a mere 22.5 pounds and is 33 inches long/high. Kinda tall and skinny. We are still holding off on the vaccinations for now.

We had been a little concerned because a couple of weeks ago Isaiah had started substituting his words (verbal and signing) for grunts and points. Pedi says no worries ... he is making development gains in other areas and the language will return (it already has). He has been sleeping at night much much better ~ often spending nearly the entire night in his crib (still side-carred to our bed) with just a couple of quick nursings. I'm feeling renewed energy with all the sleep I have been granted and am taking advantage. Too bad you can't store extra sleep for later on...
