Indie {41 Weeks}

We have had pooping issues for a while now.  I won't go into details, but Dave has given me the nickname of "Turtle Whisperer" (What can I say, I'm a lucky gal!)  This week, I talked to Dr. Nielsen at Indie's 9 month appointment, blood was drawn, and it turns out that Indie's thyroid is off.  Our pediatrician is consulting with endocrinology and we should have a treatment plan next week (probably just a daily medicine so easy peasy.)  I am looking forward to having this issue resolved.

They also asked me to fill out a development questionnaire at Indie's appointment and I got to answer Yes to every question except 1 about getting into quadruped position.  It looks like we are still pretty much on track!  I think it's time to start working on crawling, but Indie has other ideas, like this Superman position.  Good thing this little stinker is cute.

Next up, I am going to have to find a top-notch distraction so I can tuck those knees under her body and help her start building strength.  I'm game and I know she's going to crawl when she's ready, but sometimes it is exhausting to worry about every single aspect of Indie's physical development, signing, speech, medical needs, cognition, sleeping through the night, nap schedule, all while trying to give equal time to our other girls.  We love this little lady to pieces, but man, Down Syndrome is a lot of work.
