Max

Dec 16th Max had his hearing test, and they said he only just passed.

there was a line on a graph, and above the line was a pass, he was right on the line.

still not 100% sure how they test a babys hearing, but he is being tested again in 3months time.
they also said he has a bit of fluid in his ears.

Dec 17th, Max had to see the speech therapist, and the physio and some other therapist lady! cant remember her title, but she checks his motor skills and fine motor skills.

we saw the speech therapist because he wasn't holding his tongue down when he was eating,he would hold his tongue up on the roof of his mouth and it would be shaky but by the time we got to see her Max was getting the whole eating thing down pat.

but she told me that when he eats i have to hold the spoon on his tongue and let him take the food off it, rather than me wiping the food into his mouth. it comes back to him having low muscle tone , it even includes his tongue. I'm more inclined to think , that he is just a lazy little bugger, LOL

the physio is very impressed with his progress, just as well cause i have been working very hard!

Max can now roll all around the lounge room if I let him, and now the girls are going to have to keep every little toy packed away so he doesnt eat it, he still puts EVERYTHING into his mouth!
