I was right about Eli :( ...

We found out today that Elijah is 24% behind for his age. We had people come over today to check him out because we were concerned. He averaged out at 4.8 months and he turned 6 months on the 21st. They said his motor skills are behind a lot, but everything else is pretty good. They said he should be making more sounds (baby talk) than he is, but it's not a big concern. They said he should be sitting unsupported by now, but he's not. His balance is off and he is very tense. He's not really extending his arms and legs but instead keeps himself tense and pulls everything close and tight. It could be a security thing though. They also think he may have reflux. Which would explain some of his lag in motor skills. The reflux can be causing him to be uncomfortable in certain positions. So that's something we have to talk to his pediatrician about. We also have to talk about getting him fit for a helmet :( . They think that if he doesn't get one soon his head will never be as round as it should be. He has Plagioceplaly (Flat Head Syndrome). It's very common but it's best to fix it while he's still small or it could fuse and stay that way. I don't really want my beautiful little boy to be stuck wearing a helmet all day but I guess it's better to deal with it now. We will be getting PT for him once a week to help him with his motor skills, and hopefully the doctor can help with everything else. Well I'll keep you updated.
