Trevor's developmental check-up
Last Friday, we took Trevor to the Ages and Stages Clinic at Texas Children's. They send us surveys about his development to follow up with him. His corrected age (age from his due date) then was 7 months 5 days. I didn't actually figure that out - they did. So they observed him to see how he compares to a 7 month old. There was a doctor, a physical therapist, an occupational therapist and I think a psychologist there. He pretty much just played with toys and they made noises to see how he responded. They were very impressed with his physical abilities - trying to crawl and sit up, grabbing toys, but speech wise, he is behind about three months (so like a 4 month old). But Jack was behind too, we just didn't get it official until he was about a year and a half old. He has since started squealing when he is happy and is becoming more vocal. They saw how needy he is and this doctor agreed that letting him cry it out in his crib would not work for him. He needs to learn to comfort himself, so we need to figure out how we can get him to do that. He's still at 16 pounds but eating baby foods like crazy! We are so blessed to have a healthy baby!
