Hola!
Summers here are hit and miss. We are getting some decent moisture this year with the odd hot day in between. I wish we had a string of hot days so we can sit on the patio and eat popsicles.
Trent had his 18month immunization today (ok I realize we are behind as his is 22mos old). He was such a trooper through two needles... one in each arm. Poor little guy. But he cried for a millisecond of the 2nd needle. Weighing in at 29lbs 4oz and is 33.5inches tall. He is very average on the growth charts and is really healthy. He was really cute for the health nurse too and said some of his words for her. His favorite is Hola (hello in Spanish)... He thinks he is funny if you say "Trent can you say Hello" he will laugh and say "Hola".
Our only concern is that at this age he should have 25+ words and Trent has maybe 5. So the health nurse suggested a referral to speach and language to rule out any problems. I know I have a ton to be thankful for since my family is so healthy and happy, but just thought of something being wrong tugs on my heart strings. But admittance is necessary. I would rather have things checked and dealt with if needed. Trent's comprehension of what people say to him is amazing, he just doesn't like to talk much. I am ok with that, I think the first time around I was soooo anxious for Joseph to talk, and with Trent I know it will come, and when it does it won't stop. So what's the rush, right?
Babies are only babies once.
I have to admit that I love the whit that comes out of Joseph's mouth sometimes. This morning I was explaining to him that I would take him to school then I had to take Trent for his needles. Joseph looked at me and said "Sure am glad it's not me" ROFL. He has the funniest tones to his one liners too. *sigh*
How boring life would be if I didn't have my boys. They really are the spice of life.

All kids develop at their own pace and if they need a little help along they way so be it..... they all grow up with their own special traits!

Kaelen had speech problems and at 4 years 3 months was only 30% audible... we worked with the speech path and at home then when he went for his kindergarten assessment 5 months later he was already 90% audible...by 5 he was at par with his kindergarten class. Maigen had about 2 words at 18 months so we saw the speech path early thinking she was following Kaelen's pattern and she was fine... just shy. Now at 3 you can't get her to be quiet. Just remember Health Nurses preach out of a government textbook (which basically says if your child isn't exactly the same as all the others within a 5% margin they're not "normal")and if you have any real concerns or want the speech path referral you are better going to your family physician. Chances are he just doesn't have anything important to say yet ... and one day he'll surprise!
