You gotta love her smile!

I dont know where to start. Lets see...Oct 14 I took Bay for her 1st Synagis shot of the year. Bay had a whopping weight of 18 lb 2 oz and her length was still 29 1/2 inches long. She was up 1 lb from 6 weeks ago. We were really wanting her to be between 18 lb 8 oz - 19 lb but Dr. Tindle said it was a gain so we will take it. The weight gain was good EXCEPT it threw her in a higher Synagis dose which meant they had to split it into two different shots - one in each leg. OUCH! Dr. Tindle checked her over good and said she thinks her cough is just allergy/viral. Her blood work looked good so no meds for Bay. We talked A LOT about Bays talking. On a daily basis Bay says Dada, Bite & Woof...and that is it. she has said other words in the past but doesnt use them on a regular basis. Dr. Tindle said she felt like it was time to get a EIS (Early Intervention Services) evaluation just to see what they say.


I called and have gotten the EIS evaluation process started. I have dreaded this for months and months but after talking to the EIS coordinator Im not as worried! Shocker I know. She said 70% of all the kids evaluated dont qualify for EIS Services/therapy. You have to have a 25% deficit in one or more areas in order to qualify. Long story short...after doing the questionnaire she qualified for evaluation based on slow speech and she has several markers for autism. I am trying not to worry and hoping that she will be in the 70% that end up being just fine. It will be atleast another week or two before they do the evaluation. Say a lil prayer for Bay...although my gut says she is gonna be fine prayer is always good!

We have been getting ready for Bay to swap classes in daycare. She is still in the 9-12 month class now and needs to move up. I went today and met the teachers. They were all nice. We are just a little shocked because the next class they sleep in cots and they have a NO PACI rule...well that is getting changed because Bayley is getting her paci during naptime...rules were made to be broken and no body is taking my girls paci at this point...maybe later but not now! This will be a big change for Bay (no morning nap, no morning snack, only 1 cup a day) I am really dreading the adjustment period. The class she has been in has been wonderful to basically feed her all day everyday but this next class they just dont do that so I am a lil concerned that it may hurt her weight gain...keep your fingers crossed!

PG just had homecoming last week. My friend Cindi came over and we took Bay to her first football team Brian wouldnt go :( We had a great time. Cindi (Eye Momma to Bay) spoiled Bay rotten letting her climb all over her and get away with murder! lol Bay LOVED the Band and clapped along with them. it was so cute.

Syd is doing pretty good these days. Teenage years are filled with constant ups and downs but somehow she always ends up on top. We are so lucky with her she is such a good girl. She has just done FABULOUS in school the last few weeks!!! Forgive me of my proud momma moment and check out Syds 1st 9 week report card!
