My word, it's been almost a month since my last post! I'm afraid that's probably how it will be going from now on, but we'll see.
Okay, so let's just get this out of the way. We planned on not posting this on the blog so people would not worry, but then I get in trouble for not keeping people updated, so here it goes. About 8 weeks ago our pediatrician, Dr. Burt ran some blood tests to rule out any issues with Charley since he hadn't grown (height/weight), but everything came back completely normal, so he said that he'll probably just be a little guy for a bit and will eventually shoot up and catch up with everyone. We asked when to worry and he said "when I tell you to." Enough said. Well then two weeks ago we went for a scheduled weight check and Charley hadn't gotten longer or heavier in six weeks, so Dr. Burt said since he seems to have in a way stopped growing, he'd like us to go to Riley to see some specialists. Although we're concerned, we're trying to not be overly worried until someone tells us that we need to be. We go next Wednesday. I'll be sure to let everyone know what happens and what we find out. Other than that, he's really great! We went to his NICU follow-up clinic and he's above average on everything developmentally (except height/weight of course). However, yesterday he was weighed and he has gained 1/4 lb. in the last two weeks. Doesn't seem like a whole bunch I know, but it's great news for us since he at least didn't lose any weight and actually showed an increase! Maybe he's just getting a running start and is going to take off soon!
Okay, as for the good stuff - we spent July 4th holiday with Mitch's family in Richmond. It was really great to see everyone and Aunt Tammy, Angela, Hannah & Ashley flew in from Florida. A big group of the family wen to King's Island on the 4th, and to my surprise it wasn't very crowded. We all had a really great time.
Charley milestone updates: Will give high fives (thanks to Mr. Matt teaching him!), Sits up on his own, said "Mama" once, but I'll take it!, recognizes his name much more, and eats snacks
We are definitely keeping busy and loving the summer. We try to walk every day. Okay, someone just woke from his nap.
***Sidenote: Mangi - "Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday Dear Mangi, Happy Birthday to you!" Gee, you could almost imagine me singing it off tune to you, couldn't you? Hope you have a great birthday on Thursday.
