Passing Our Exams

No, we haven't heard how Daddy did on his law school exams, but Evelyn took a couple this week! On the 2nd, she went to the optometrist for an InfantSee eye exam. It is a free service provided by certain optometrists in the area. Dr. Weigel was wonderful and Evelyn did very well--no crying! In fact, she kept trying to grab different items that he possessed. Evelyn passed the eye exam with flying colors! The next night, our PAT person came for a visit and administered a developmental assessment on Evelyn. Since she was so premature, she administered the exam as if Evelyn was an 8 mo. old baby. Evelyn did very well in the fine and gross motor areas, but was a little behind in the language dept. While we weren't surprised by it, it was still a little disappointing to hear. Our PAT person reassured us that Evelyn was on track and that we are doing all the right things. She also explained that most babies focus on one area of development at a time, so we shouldn't worry. All in all, we are very pleased with her growth and development. We can't get over how much she has changed in such a short amount of time. If only this stage of life lasted a little bit longer...
