Tests, Teething and Sitting Up!

Oliver is such a trouper - amongst the week of tests, clinic appointments and specialist assessments, he has got his first two teeth and learnt to sit up by himself.

Oliver has been dribbling for sometime - and now his first tooth has emerged - and is quite sharp! His second tooth is not far behind. He has done well - we have only had one really horrible day where he was unsettled and crying - but otherwise he is his usual gorgeous self.

Oliver has also learnt to sit by himself. This makes a change from the frustration he is expressing because he has not quite worked out the crawling thing.

Oliver can sit unaided for about 5 minutes and play with his toys before forgetting to balance and falling over. On the other hand he is becoming so frustrated by his slow progress in the crawling stakes. He is completely obsessed by rolling over and trying to move forward, and refuses to stay on his back for anything other than his milk - and even then once the edge of hunger has been taken off he is off!

Less fun is the rolling whilst sleeping!

Oliver has completed another week of tests, clinic appointments and seeing his favourite paediatrician - Kurt! He has started at the feeding clinic (haha) and is seeing a speech pathologist for his swallowing difficulties. He has another week of more investigations next week and then he sees another paediatrician and then hopefully it will all be sorted! The good news is that he has stabilised his weight so has not lost any weight this week - yay.

Oliver is a happy and healthy little fellow despite his difficulties with eating - and as usual feels that all these appointments are really just for the extra adoration and flirting opportunities.

The other big news is that Little Aggie has returned home - twice in one day - of course today she has not presented - but still she is alive and knows that we are still here.
