Hayden update

Hayden had his 18 month check up last week, thought the office check up might give a few a laugh

When we got to the exam room Hayden....tore the exam paper up when trying to get his weight- 27.91 lb. (73%), screamed like an abanche' when measuring his length 33.66 inches (68%).
Gave a shining performance for dumping cheerios everywhere, pitching a fit once his cup was empty, threw blocks in the exam room, tried to escape more times than I can remember & threw himself in the floor all the way out the door once we were 'free' to leave, lol. Has a referral in the process to LIFT due to not talking, speaking at least 5 words/pointing to body parts. Basically, Hayden didn't met all the developmental mile stones that most 18 month olds are currently at. The LIFT referral is a free evaluation in our home. We'll just have to wait for the appt. to be set up.
Tim & I feel better about this referral being made as we've made comments at the last several appt. about Hayden's lack of verbal skills....and it's not just a boy thing.
He has cut 2 more teeth. Got the Hep A vaccine, given that he could have some exposure pre-natal to the Hep A virus.
And we are going to put him in preschool come fall, if Hayden needs to repeat the 2 yr program then that is fine....we'll do that or the 3 yr program, but he needs some more structure & interaction w/ kids.
