Hello again, did you miss me?

I know, I know!! You can put me in time-out later for being such a bad blogger. I have news that you want to hear. I know you want it.

Wilson had a wonderful birthday. He had all of his friends (ie the coaches' kids) at his party. We even had a big blowup water slide. It was tons of fun. He loved, no I am sorry DEMOLISHED his chocolate cake. Grandpa came up for the big day, and it was really great to see Russell and Wilson having fun with him. He had the two big "hits" for presents. The first was a bubble gun that Russell adored.





The other was a chair that has a little table attached. It has three different setting (ABC's, music, and games). Wilson gets so excited every time he see that chair. Now (a couple of weeks later) he has figured out how to stand up in the chair.
All in all the kid had a fantastic birthday. We took him to his one year check up, and he is growing like a weed. He is 30 1/2 inches and 27 pounds. He is in 18-24 month clothes (quickly growing out of them). He wears a size 5 shoe and diaper.
The upsetting news is that they are concerned about his head growth. As you all know, my babies have BIG heads. I have always just thought that meant they would be geniuses. Unfortunately, the doctor doesn't share my opinion. He head spiked in growth between 6 months and 9 months. WAIT you say, this was his 12 month check up, right. YES--the doc didn't catch it last time. Anywho, let me get back to the explanation before I go on a doctor tirade. As I was saying, his head spiked in those 3 months, and the female doctor thinks it could be an indicator of something. She wouldn't say what it might indicate, but she tried to reassure me by saying that he is otherwise normal. She also pointed out that this is the reason we have check ups every 3 months. She ordered a CT scan to be done next Friday. Wilson will have to be sedated. I think that is the scariest part. I am hoping that since they scheduled it around his nap time (10:30) that they will only have to give a light dose of sedative.
Please keep us in your prayers. I know in my heart of hearts that it is a good thing that Dr. Johnson caught the mistake this time instead of letting go even longer. I just am so scared of what it all might mean.
We love and miss all of you.

Hey Hillary, be sure to keep us informed of how Wilson's appointment goes, although I'm sure everything will be totally fine. We will be praying for you, that Wilson will be perfect and fine and healthy and that you will have peace of mind. Hang in there.
