Well her eval was done at 22 mos instead of 24. Basically she falls in the 17-19 month range on just about all categories except gross motor. It still seems to be her biggest deficit at 16-18 mos. Overall she seems about three mos behind. When I took her in for her two year well visit I was shocked and amazed. She was barely hanging on the growth chart and my has she come a long way.... Height 19%, Head 18% and weight 31%. I knew she had a big belly, but that was ridiculous. Her ped was VERY pleased with her development and said that "Avery is such a joy to watch". She asked about words and signs and was thrilled that she has over sixty words and signs and is putting them together for two-word sentences. Lastly, Avery is in a music class and today she was on task and followed direstions for about %95 of the class time. She is indeed the teachers pet. Miss Jill will stop the class to praise Avery and ooh and aww over something cute that she has done. We have Avery's one-year cardio appt next week and I will update you about that. Overall, I am just amazed at how well my little sweetie has been doing.
