We're "heading" in the right direction!

Tomorrow is the big day - the final head scan and check up for Kale! Adam and I made the decision last night that regardless of how his scan comes back we aren't going to continue him in the helmet. Kale has met all the requirements he needed to meet - we're just hoping for a little extra rounding. His poor head is so sweaty every night when we get home from Jane's! It felt good knowing it was the last night we needed to wash the helmet and his head on a nightly basis. Kale had another appointment earlier this week - his 9 month check-up. He is tracking the same as he has since he was born - 95% for height (30 inches), 75% for weight (21 lbs 15 oz) and 25-50% for head (17 1/2 inches). He is an inch and a half longer than Nolan was at this age, and almost 2 lbs heavier! It explains why he isn't fitting in to some of his 6-12 month pants! The rest of his appointment went well. The only concern we had is the fact he isn't making a lot of sounds yet. The dr. told us she isn't real concerned, as he scored high in all the other categories of the assessment. She said we'll just keep an eye on it and make sure he's saying 6-12 words by 18 months old.

Last weekend was wonderful. We got to stay home all weekend, and we had lots of vistors - friends over for lunch on Saturday, a bonfire Saturday night and Paulette and Ryan for lunch on Sunday. Sunday afternoon we had Kale's 9 month pics taken at Target. He put on a great show and we got a couple of really good pics. He didn't sit still very long, but the photographer was quick.

This weekend is the annual woodbat softball tournament. I'm also taking the kids to a bike rodeo on Saturday morning - to get Nolan his first bike helmet. After that we're making our way up the interstate to St. Cloud, to visit my parent's in their new house! Sunday is Father's Day, and the plan is for Nolan to get out fishing with Adam and Grandpa Greg. It will be Nolan's first time in a boat and fishing, so we'll have to take lots of pictures. I hope he doesn't pull out his classic sayings until he's been on the boat for a little bit. "I don't want to" and "I done" won't bode well for the others on the boat, in the middle of a lake!
