Big Weekend!

Mom and I had a very good visit with the doctor today- but I will get into that in a minute.

This weekend was a little out of the norm for me. Friday night I got to spend the night with Grandma & Grandpa Klett. We had a good time, especially when the whole family got up around 3am to hang out! Even Uncle Chris stopped by in between plowing to hang out. I like being up so much I did it again the next night, and the next night ;-) Good times!

Saturday Mom was a little under the weather so I was nice. We napped a lot and I was really quiet. I could tell that she appreciated it! It was also my first Valentine's Day & I had TWO Valentines. Mom & her friend Delsia. Well, Del came over after I had gone to bed, but I'm counting her too- even if she was a bitter betty about it being V-Day. I've got some sweet pics of my first V-Day, Mom will post those later.

So Sunday rolls around & I'm sorry, but two nights out of my crib (literally, not figuratively) and I was PO'd! I let everyone know too! Barely napped, cried A LOT & fought bedtime like you wouldn't believe. It was all in good fun though, I'm started to lay off now that we are getting back into our routine. Who knew I was such a stickler?

Today! Mom and I had the best doctor appointment yet (in her opinion, they're all starting to look/sound the same to me "he's cute, looks great, see ya in 6 months") We met with Dr. Greg Rice a Geneticist who works with the UW. We met him in the hospital when I was born (don't remember that) and he is my doc for the 22q. Anyhoo- he said that I look "great' (duh!) and that my muscle tone is good (check out the guns!) and that I'm meeting all the milestones I should be (you should check me out during tummy time now!) This is all good news, but I saw Mom wipe a tear when he told her that most cases of 22q have either the severe physical issues (like my heart) OR the developmental delays. Usually not both! AND he said (didn't want to be quoted) that kids who have good muscle tone (aforementioned guns) usually are not developmentaly delayed. THIS WAS EXCELLENT NEWS! Mom's been worried ever since I was in the womb that we would be dealing with all 300 manifestations of 22q. But it looks like she can chill out a bit. Nothing's set in stone of course, but Dr Rice was pretty encouraged. We're going to follow up with him in 6 months, and maybe go check out a clinic he recommended, but he thinks I'm doing great!

As my reward, Mom took me shopping- GROCERY SHOPPING- see how much I love it?

Well I'm off to sleep (maybe thru the night.) Hopefully we can get those other pictures uploaded tomorrow.

Peace
