Vinnie was under the weather for halloween, but we still put his awesome glow in the dark skeleton pajamas from grandma Vicki on him. He had a cold, an ear infection, and a double eye infection. He is prettty much over it now, but it sure lingers on. We got quite our share of trick or treaters in our new neighborhood. When we lived in midtown we had one maybe two max! Luckily I did not have to eat all the candy this year :)
Tuesday I took Vinnie to his neurologist Dr Boop for his monthly check up. Dr Boop was confident his hydrocephulus had receeded enough that he does not need to see him again for six months! He will have another cat scan then just to make sure the fluid in his brain remains at a normal volume.
We also went in for his 15 month wellness check up. He weighed in at 23 1/2 pounds! It was the fastest appointment I have ever taken him to. I was talking to the nurse and there are so many sick kids right now. They are trying to get everyone for wellness checks in and out. They even offer to allow you to wait in your car and call you when it is time to come back to your room vs sitting in the waiting room. They were actually our of flu shots so Vinnie will get one when he goes back for his checkup (from being sick). Unfortunately Vinnie was denied this year for Synagis the RSV shot. They feel his lungs are no longer at a state where it would be life threatening although in some situations it can be to the healthiest child.
We will be traveling to Florida for thanksgiving this year. Vinnie will be going on an airplane for the first time. I hope he does well. I am currently accepting all advice for taking an infant on a plane :) We are excited to go. Vinnie will then officially have met all his aunts and uncles!!!
Vinnie is moving along in the food and drink world. He likes noodles, pancakes, french toast (ok anything that involves syrup), corn dogs, peas, PB&J, amoung other things. We are working on the sippy cup. He actually drank half a cup out of one a few weeks ago, but not much luck since. I was taking him over to his godmother Kristy's house last weekend and decided to give the sippy cup a whirl while in the car. Bad idea. He managed to spill the spilless cup of juice all over his shirt. Like anything we'll keep at it.
Last weekend Vincent also had his first official sleep over with other kids! He stayed over at my friend Alison's house with her kids who are 4 and 2. He had a great time and was tuckered out. Thanks again Alison!
For some reason blogger does not like it when I rotate pictures so you may have to look sideways for a few. The second picture is Vinnie's "stop taking pictures of me" face. :)
