2 Year Check-up

Rayce is going to Kid Power! Finally, after 1 year of tugging and pulling for speech therapy he has been referred. He will also have his hearing tested because I mentioned the fact that he "hums" a lot of his words. His pedi said it sounds like he is recognizing the pitch of a word but may not be hearing the whole thing. She said even if there's a slight variation it can make a difference. I also asked her if him staying home with me had anything to do with his delay in speech and she flat out said NO! She said people like to pin point it to that but, even with him staying home these are things he should be learning on his own, with or without social interaction. She also reassured me that speech delay is very common, she sees it more often then not. I'm so excited to get this ball rolling because Rayce should be close to saying sentences by now.

We also talked about autism and that has definitely been ruled out period. She said he's not even close to being a candidate.

Rayce weighed in at a whopping 30.5 pounds and is 36 inches tall. Big boy! I think he is down a couple of pounds from being sick but regardless he's still solid. He also got some vaccines today. We started his Hep A series, chicken pox, and influenza. He is all caught up on all his vaccines now except for his measles, mumps, and rubella. He probably won't have that until he is 4.

Overall, I am very pleased with his check-up. She said he is a very healthy kid but mommy needs a pair of roller skates to keep up with him. LOL, isn't that the truth!
