Pediatric Development

Today Connor had his check up with Pediatric Development.  They follow drug babies.  So today he was checked on his gross motor skills, some cognitive skills and language.  He did well.  We knew that of course.  He is meeting his marks in terms of development.  He is working on walking and climbing.  He is a great problem solver and he showed that at the appointment today.  He chattered away and showed that he is working on language.
He will go back in about a year.  That is when the pre-school skills start emerging and that is a critical time in terms of development.  That appointment he will see a development pediatrician.  Today he just saw a nurse.
It is good to have the check ups done and know that he is doing well.  The nurse's biggest suggestions were to be consistent in parenting and to not give too many toys.  Fewer is better in that it teaches attention skills.  Interesting.  I told her he doesn't have any toys.  She looked at me funny.  Audrie claims all toys as hers.  :P
