Haleigh's Journey

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.(Psalms 127:3-5 ESV)

2 year well visit

Today was Haleigh's 2 year well visit.  She is now 14 lbs 3 oz and is 27 inches long.  She is still in the << 3 percentile but any progress is progress.  Dr. Chaney was very happy with her progress.  When she was evaluated, her social and cognitive level is her highest at a 18-20 month level.  Her speech is a 12-15 month level, and her motor development is about a 15-18 month level.  She is still very behind but she is always improving.  They will not worry until she stops making advances.  
The best part of the news is that we can start to transition her into the toddler room at daycare.  We will talk to the director and see if they will do a slow transition.  Maybe a few hours a day until they get her up to a full day.  The toddlers are still big compared to her so as much as I want her to move, i also want her to be safe.

  1. This is great news! Noah has been making strides and all the doctors and therapists say that is partly because he wants to keep up with them. I think this will help with Haleigh too. She will see kids moving and doing things and she will want to do them also. I agree with what you said too that you wont worry until she stops. That is where we are too.

    Be blessed
