Reflux Revisited

Joshua went to see Dr. Devenyi today for his six-month check-up. He now weighs 28.2 pounds...the most he's ever weighed so far (he was fully dressed, but I'll still take it!!!). He's going to stay on the Prevacid and have another six-month check-up in October, where Dr. Devenyi said he may take him off the medication and do another scope to examine his esophagus again. At that point, he would be three years old and a little better at communicating how he's feeling. I was glad we're sticking with the medication for now since he's growing and doing so well. Joshua was an angel at the doctor's office once again. He's growing so big and expressing himself so well... I feel like he's so much easier to handle these days. It's great!

One thing Joshua asks lately is "what doin'?" (something I often ask in the same way). He also asks where people are? He'll say "where's Daddy? Daddy's bye-byes at work! Where's Caleb Luke? Oh, hi, Caleb!!!" and he'll wave wildly. It's comical. Joshua is really great at solving puzzles, and he enjoys 'reading' books to himself and explains what's happening in the picture. He's a bundle of fun!
