Back in May I took both kids to the pediatrician for their well-visit check-ups.
Trent weighed in at 25 pounds, 5.5 ounces (45%). His height was 31.25" (20%) and his head circum. was 18.75 (40%). Overall he is doing extremely well. The only possible concern is his speech - and honestly, that's not even a concern yet. You see, Trent isn't saying much yet. Kevin and I aren't worried at all because Trent is perfectly normal in all other aspects of development. The doctors also aren't worried - they said he's probably focusing on other developmental milestones, and also adjusting to his new baby sister. None the less, they gave us the phone number of a program that deals with an assortment of issues in children (ages 0-3yrs.), one of which is delayed speech. We decided to call them last week. Someone is going to come out to our house in 2 weeks to evaluate Trent. If they determine that he is just a little delayed they will give us ideas of things to do at home to encourage speaking. If they think he is 25-35% delayed we will have to see a specialist. I will keep you updated. Trent doesn't have another well-visit until he turns 2 (in November).
Claire weighed in at 11 pounds, 0.5 ounces (50%). She was 22" long (35%) and her head circum. was 14.75" (20%). She received a few vaccines, which are never pleasant, but overall she too is doing great. She goes back for her 4 month well-visit in July.

I wouldnt worry either..we went through the same thing with Riley..shes always been more advanced then most kids her age in all areas except speech..and then the speech really took off between age 2 and 3. ive heard its more important that they understand what ur saying and can take direction..the verbal part will come soon enough!
