Its been a long time....

And I have been so busy. It has been about 3 weeks since I have done a proper "what's happening in our life" post so here goes.

Joel is now 14 weeks old, I had him weighed and measured last week but cant find the piece of paper that had them on. I think he weighs 6.4kg. Once I find it I will update properly. I have been that busy that I haven't even taken any photos these last 3 weeks...bad.

The poor little man ended up getting the cold that went through the house. He ended up being the sickest and on antibiotics for a ear and sinus infection, he was a very miserable boy there fir a week or so. He also ended up getting conjunctivitis in both eyes to add to his misery. He is almost over it apart from a bit of a cough.

He has now moved into his cot and we spent last weekend moving the cot out of Matthews room into Megan's room, so Joel now shares with Megan. He looks so tiny in a BIG cot...

Matthew also ended up- getting the dreaded cold and it went straight to his chest. So while fighting that he was having a block of speech therapy that has now finished and seeing the pediatrician to see if he could be eligible for the Language development centre next year, unfortunately he isn't as will be going to mainstream kindy (we are going to try for an aid for him)

He has now started a block of physio and OT. The physio did a full assessment on him as she was new and Matthew is very weak in his glutes, quads and hands so we will be working on those areas leading up to kindy.

Last Wednesday he had his 4 year old immunisation and yesterday we went to PMH for his Neuro appoint....YAY. We have some good news, his muscles are fine, no nasties there. So it seems that the reason for his poor muscles tone and balance is not the muscles at all but joint hypermobility. So it is off to see the orthopaedic team about his joints and spine (not sure what's wrong there but the physio mentioned it).
