Doctors

This morning Kate had a doctor's appointment. For the most part she is doing well. She is 6 months old, weighs 16 lbs and is 26 inches long. That makes her 50% for height and weight and under 50% for her head size. As some of you know Kate has had some trouble with a clogged tear duct. It's not that big of a deal, and most kids grow out of it by 9-10 months, but if not they have to go in and open the duct....but there is a Dr. in the next town over that is doing a study on clogged ducts - so my doctor recommended me to her so that we can help her with her study, then if we need anything done with her eye in the future it will pretty much be free because it goes under "research" for this doctor and so we won't have to pay for anything. Also, we've noticed lately that Kate kind of has a saggy head...LOL...she tends to favor her right side and although she has free range of motion in her neck and doesn't resist looking the other direction, when she is totally relaxed and just hanging out...it is obvious that it sags. Anyway, so we also got recommended to go to a physical therapist. The doctor said that most of the time the babies adjust themselves but if we wanted to take her we could. If we do anything it wont be until after we get back from California for Christmas, until then we'll just see how well she does. That's about it, she's growing well and for the most party healthy and happy.

Also, one of Devon's best friends, Tim, is getting married in Idaho Falls this weekend and after debating and discussing what was going to happen Devon is taking Austin with him to I.F. and Kate is staying here with me....I'm so excited! And the best part is that Devon is excited too, he loves taking Austin on little adventures with him. It will be good daddy bonding time. :)

Stacy, hope your having a happy holiday season. I just wanted to let you know that if Kate has torticolis (that's what Nate had) and physical therapy works wonders!!! I can't even tell you enough how much it helped. Good luck!
