Developmental Clinic

For Charlotte's six month (she'll be six months adjusted next week) visit to the NICU follow up clinic, we got the following results:

For reference, we are hoping that she will eventually score according to her adjusted age. So for this clinic visit, our target was a score of 6 months.

Cognitive: 6 months
Expressive Language: 2.5 months (darn vocal cord paralysis)
Receptive Language: 4 months
Fine Motor Skills: 4 months

We also learned that Charlotte's not fat, she's just short. She weighed in at 7.16 kilos (15.75 pounds) which places her in the 31st percentile for preemies. Her head circumference is in the 5th percentile and her height is not on the chart. So see, those chunky thighs are just storing up energy to get longer. That's what we're telling her at least.
