More trips to Children's

This week has been a busy one! Yesterday we went to see Dr. Wiley, the Developmental Pediatrician. When she first walked in I was struck immediately by her resemblance to my aunt Sarah (who is also a pediatrician). If Dr. Wiley were taller, they would have been twins! I was instantly impressed with Dr. Wiley. She sat down on the floor with Brian and started playing with him from the start. She has an obvious love for children and I loved seeing her interact with him. Unfortunately (fortunately, really), we won't get to spend a lot of time with her as she felt Brian has NO developmental delays at this time!! She was very pleased with the way he is developing and saw no cause for concern. She shared Dr. Price's opinion on Brian's eating habits. She gave us several ideas on how we can make eating table food Brian's idea.

Then today we went to see the eye doctor, Dr. North. I found it hysterical that Children's has a Dr. North and a Dr. West in their Ophthalmology department :) Anyway, more good news...Brian's eyes are normal. Yay! We will go back every two years to make sure his eyes continue to develop normally. They did have to dilate his eyes, which he was not thrilled about. He was quite the wiggle worm, but who could blame him? The poor kid has been poked and prodded enough.

Our battle to be more strong-willed than Brian seems to be working for now. Today he ate a bite of Shawn's toast at breakfast (too bad it was his last bite, Brian probably would have eaten more :) Then he ate some of my pizza crust at lunch. He also snacked on an apple with me after our nap. Then at dinner, he ate a little bit of what we were eating (stuffed crescent rolls) and I believe he even ate a little bit of ground beef! Yay, Brian!!

Okay, it's bath time. Goodnight :)
