Aylin is half a year old!! She has grown from 19 in long at birth to 25 3/4in long and from 5lb14oz to 14lbs9oz at 6 months of age. As always she did great at the doctor's office except when she got the horrible shots :) She had her first reaction to the shots as well. It was a fever andw e think it came from the seasonal flu shot because she has never had a reaction to anything before and that was the only new thing she got. We have also been referred to a pediatric physical therapists. We met her Friday and had a consultation. She was very pleased with Aylin's social skills but her gross motor are behind. She also is refferring us to a pediatric eye doctor. AJ's left eye goes toward her nose a lot and she tilts her head in that direction as well. There is a possibility that she is tilting her head to compensate for her sight, which apparently could all be connected to her motor skills. We have a list of exercises to do at home with Aylin to help strenghten her muscles and should be able to set up an eye appointment in the next couple of weeks. She will go back to the PT before Thanksgiving for a follow-up and we should know more then.
