The only excuse I have about not posting yesterday is that I had a headache that I think turned into a migraine and I was on the couch all night until I went to bed at 9 o'clock. It was awful. Otherwise yesterday was pretty normal here. This morning Adam and I took Kinnick to his 15 month checkup at the doctor. Fifteen months? Can that really be? He is not a baby anymore! He weighed 27 lbs 14.5 oz and was 33 inches long. He is in the 90th percentile for both his weight and his height. We had some concerns about the fact that he does not say anything except for guh and ba ba so we asked about that and the doctor thinks that because he had so many ear infections and always had fluid in his ears that he was not hearing things normally. Sounds were muffled when he heard them. So, he may just be a little behind because of that, and also because of the fact that he has 2 older siblings that do all the talking for him! I felt better after we got an explanation and if he is not talking more by the time he is 18 months we need to see the doctor again. We also got news that he does not have to wear his star band 21 hours a day anymore. We can just have him wear it when he is sleeping or playing around the house. When he is outside and it is hot he does not have to wear it. The doctor was really happy with the shape of his head and had noticed a change even since we were there 2 weeks ago. So the appointment went well. I went to Algona for lunch with 2 good friends of mine today and I got to leave Carter and Kinnick with daddy at home. That was nice to get away for 2 hours! Tonight Maddie has her last t-ball game in Whittemore at 6 o'clock so we will all go to that. I will try to take some pics and get them posted tonight after we get home. Have a great rest of the week! Love, Steph

Dax, our 2 year old, was put into speach therapy because of late speech. He didn't make a sound for the first 1 1/2 years. He didn't even babble as a baby. They figured out he had a problem with the connection between his brain and mouth. However, our insurance wouldn't pay for continued therapy. He is now talking almost as well as our other kids at 2 1/2! We just really got mean about him using his words. He could literaly get anything in the house without talking. We had gotten his sign language down, and we waited on him hand and foot! After telling everyone to make him talk, he did. I think kids really pick things up at such a varied rate. If everything else is on track, I would just give the talking it's time. He is obviously doing everything else on time, and growing well!!! Plus, he is sooooooooo cute!
