6 month developmental appointment

We headed out to the hospital today for Kaitlyn's 6 month developmental appointment. Babies that have complications in NICU get signed up to be monitored through the hospital, on top of their regular pediatric visits. They go by her adjusted age (which is where her development should be), so since she was born a month early, that made her 6 month appointment this month. She did great! The doctor said that Kaitlyn is doing just perfect, and that she's even advanced for her age. Yay! Since she has no developmental worries, she does not go in for a 9 month visit and waits for her year visit. So she will not go back until March. The doctor gave us some ideas for Christmas, too. She said that Kaitlyn is getting into the stage where container toys (hiding balls in cups, that sort of thing) and cause and effect toys would be great.

Kaitlyn is happier now that her tooth has popped through. She loves to explore and new things are way better than old ones. :)
