Developmental Appointment

Today we went to the Developmental Pediatrician for the first time.  It was a long appointment and we didn't get as many answers as we were hoping for.  I guess we didn't really get much at all.  She has to go back every 6 months, so now that's another doctor to add to the list.  She told us that Liv is about an 8-10 month old developomentally all around.  Kinda hard to take when she will be 3 next month.  She has a full write up that she will mail to us and it will have her IQ score on it.  She was also concerned about the way Liv walks, so she gave us a recommendation to have that progress looked at, which means another doctor.  I guess I'll call tomorrow and book that appointment.  Liv just had no interest in the toys that were presented to her.  It gets frustrating when you know she can do something but won't for others to see.  Oh well.  Everyone there loved her because charm was on full blast as usual.  She gave us some tips for getting her to sleep through the night, but I guess if she's not mentally considered to be 1, she might not sleep through the night until she is.  We will get her big girl bed set up this week and I'm hoping that will help.  I guess sometimes we hope someone can look into the future for us, but that's never going to happen.  Again we were told that they have never seen the combination of the two disorders together which makes it even harder to tell what the future holds.  As long as she stays the snuggly, sweet girl that she is, she will be just fine.
