VIPS Playgroup

Brody had a doctors appointment Friday with Dr. Sammons, his pediatrician. He had to finish all his immunizations before his surgery this summer. Poor thing had to get both thumbs pricked too! They tested his iron levels. His levels were a little low. Mine are always low too, so I'm not too worried. We are supposed to start him on iron drops and continue them for a few weeks. He loved the band-aids on this thumbs. We didn't make it to the parking lot before he was chewing one like he had gum in his mouth! Scared me half to death!

 

Brody measured 28.5 inches long (50th-75th percentile). He weighs 22 pounds (75th percentile). His head is in the 98th percentile. A big ole boy! He found himself in the mirror again. This time he was trying to get the other baby's foot.

 

Since I had already taken the day off for his doctor's appointment, I tagged along to his first VIPS playgroup. He had so much fun and was completely worn out by the end of it! First, they played with toys in the playgroup room. Brody's new favorite toy is a Pom Pom (If you are an SEC fan, this just means he already knows how to shake a shaker!). Then, we went outside to their playground. Brody absolutely loved the swing! Good thing I got one at the consignment sale this past week. Hopefully Papa Tom will put it up this weekend when they come down!

 

After the playground, we headed to the sensory room. It is completely full of lights! Brody's favorite thing! He was mostly interested in the light bulb inside the projector. We are pretty sure he will be an engineer when he grows up.

Afterwards, Brody was completely worn out! However, Grandma insisted on taking some pictures outside of the building. Such a mean Grandma. :)

 

Today, was our first Hands & Voices meeting (well my first as a parent). They had a pretty good turn out! Brody was in the child care room with all of the kids. He bonded with one of the deaf girls helping out. When she would sign to him, he would just laugh and smile! Too cute! It's nice to have such a great group of parents to lean on. I know a lot about the deaf world, but I don't know it from the parents perspective. You wouldn't think it would be that different, but you see things in a new light!
