She didn't fuss too much when she got her DTap (Diphtheria, Tetanus & Pertussis) shot. She certainly knows what the doctor is and starts to whimper a little bit when they come into the exam room. Her pediatrician is really good with her and lets her play with some of the instruments before she examines her.
Emmy has a minor ear infection in both ears and will be on Omnicef for 10 days. We will probably call the ENT Specialist on Monday to schedule Emmy's tubes. They say it's a very minor surgery and only takes 5 minutes. Emmy will have to be put under so I'm sure this will not be easy for mom and dad to see, but we'll get through it.
Emmy is developming very well and does all of the things that are considered normal for her age group.
Here are some of her developments:
- Running.
- Walks up stairs with one hand held.
- Walks backwards.
- She loves to sit in her little rocker, but really loves to sit on the big adult chairs. She has tipped over once.
- She likes to play with her blocks. She stacks them and then takes them apart and sometimes throws them and laughs.
- She loves her books. She turns the pages and points out some items and names them.
- She understands and follows directions well.
- She points to all of her body parts = eyes, nose, ears, hair, toes, feet, belly button, teeth, tongue and lips.
- She feeds herself really well with a spoon and fork. This helps so much!
- She holds and shows affection toward her dolls & stuffed animals.
- She likes to use our MP3 player as a phone. She holds it up to her ear and says hello.
- She's really good at showing affection. She loves to give kisses & hugs.
- She likes to look out the window and says puppy when the neighbor's dog is running in their back yard.
- She is definitely all girl. She really likes to shop and loves to rummage through her closet clothes & hangers.
