Fischer

Dad and Fischer eating lunch in the hospital cafeteria before Fish's appointment on Monday. It sure brought back lots of memories to head back to the hospital where Fischer was born! He did great at his check up. He tested out above average for his speech and fine motor skills. We need to work on his gross motor skills though! He wants to scoot on his tummy instead of crawling. So we are doing some exercises with him to help him learn to crawl, but he is stubborn. He knows that he can get around just fine creeping along...so pushing him up to his knees can be challenging. We will just keep working with him. Chris joked that maybe he is one of those kids who will be happy just sitting and reading!



Fischer all ready to help Dad with calving! We have had four babies so far.

Glad Fish is doing so well. I never crawled, just started walking. Maybe he'll do the same. I hear that people who don't crawl are really smart :-)

This makes me feel lots better...because so far he only prefers standing. Even when we try to make him sit on his knees he refuses and sticks his legs out straight!

We loved seeing all the pictures from your last two posts - and am glad to see I'm not the only one who likes to "re-arrange" the ol blog now and then!
We hope to see you guys soon!

Allison must one of those kids content to sit and read. She sits and that is about it. I think she rolled over a few times 3-4 months ago, but hasn't had any interest since. Crawling? Creeping? What's that? She's just happy to stay in one spot.

We just saw our pediatrician for her 9 month check-up. Of course we asked if we should be concerned. He said not to worry.

Until she decides to get mobile, I'll continue to count my blessings since my house is not childproofed yet.

I like the new layout of your blog.

Do NOT WORRY one little bit about Fischer...he's an extremely interactive, social, bright boy.You probably had some "by the book babe" (who's never even had any kids) tell you about what he needs to be doing...he may end up being the greatest "Roman Rider" that ever lived, cause he doesn't like to bend those knees!He'll bend em when it suits him...
