Teeth, the sickies and scooting around.

Logan has both bottom front teeth breaking through! You can barely feel sharp little points. Isabel finally got her canines in. Those were tough. I think part of her biting was/is from teething. Logan is also trying to scoot around and is very interested in trying to pull up on things. He's not content just sitting on the floor. He needs constant interaction and stimulation.

Isabel and Logan have both been sick for a couple of weeks. I thought they were both well on the way to being fine, but Isabel came down with a fever. We saw the doctor today and got on an antibiotic for a suspected sinus infection.

A 2 word sentence! Logan starts on solid foods

Yes, we had a 2 word (prompted) sentence from Isabel. She said "Bye Brother." It was pretty cute. She now says "hi" and "bye" with a southern accent. It's ridiculously cute. We really need to get it on video.

Logan has his 6 month checkup a couple of weeks late on Friday. Oh.My.God. What a mess. I was there with Logan and Isabel for almost 2 hours. Jesus. It made me want to switch doctors. We were seen by Logan's doctor within 20 minutes of our appointment, but we had to wait an HOUR to get his vaccinations. I finally opened the door to the back hall hoping to see a nurse and ask to reschedule the vaccine visit because both kids had had enough. Instead I saw Dr. Frank who asked if I had been helped yet. I told him "not yet" and closed our door. I heard him chew out his staff. I must say, I was pretty happy that he found it unacceptable as well. That may have been the only this keeping me with the practice. After getting profuse apologies from the nurse about the delay we were told that they would call me with Logan's thyroid and PKU test results. These were the tests we had done at 2 weeks of life. I got a call from the nurse saying that everything was normal, but at Logan's 2 month appointment Dr. Frank couldn't find the results. I didn't think too much of it because we also paid for the extended newborn screen which included the thyroid testing and that came out normal, but I was pretty pissed that they still didn't have the TX screen results in his records. I was told they would give me a call after they talked to the Tx Dept of Health. No call back on Friday. Let's just say that we better get a call tomorrow. I reiterated to Dr. Frank that Vivian had hypothyroidism and was a bit concerned about Logan's weight gain, but he was very reassuring and said he's proportionate and that I shouldn't worry. If they can't find the results (and they better pray that they can) we'll definitely be retesting this week.

Logan started eating peas this week. He seemed to like them ok. We'll continue to introduce veggies once a week for a while and see how he does. So far, so good!
