Last week, I took Dougie to an egg hunt hosted by my MOMS Club. I posted one of the pictures in the post about my mother’s visit but I wanted to include the rest of them. It was pretty cute though Dougie didn’t quite “get” it.
My mother came for a visit last week. Things had been crazy here with Dougie being sick and she was looking for a bit of a break from her world. So, she came down to help me with mine. It was great having her here, I managed to make some significant moves forward on some of the things I’ve been trying to get done lately. It’s amazing how much easier it is to do things without having to corral a toddler.
I wanted to share a few pictures from her visit.

Thanks for coming down and all your help, Mom!!
We had Dougie’s 15 month on the 17th. He is growing but still remains on the little side. As you can see, he’s only gained 3 oz since his 12 month check-up.
Stats:
We talked to the doctor for a while about Dougie’s development. He is right on track or ahead on all his gross motor skills but lagging somewhat on his verbal skills. He only has 1 word (“Mama”). The doctor didn’t think we needed to check his hearing though so that was good. He did say that Dougie should have 4-5 words by his next appointment. Apparently, we’re doing everything right so we’ll just keep on doing that. Auntie Carol and Mom mentioned over the weekend that they think some of his sounds might be mimicing some words so hopefully that means real words won’t be too far behind.

Shoot I’ve been terrible about updating. I promise to do better.
So, first things first. The dots turned out to be a viral rash. Our pediatrician thinks that Dougie had viral pneumonia. So, obviously not ideal but at least we know. He’s doing a lot better now and the rash has cleared, so we’re all really happy about that.
Lookin’ all better
