The Year of Doctors

This year Mikey and I have decided that it is the year of Doctors. I can't even count how many times I have been to the doctors with having Max. This week I took Max in to get his tongue clipped. He did so good with getting his tongue clipped. I was very proud of him. I guess with clipping the tongue it is better if the baby is crying. Max being the happiest baby did not cry. He was just smiling away. They had to do some tricks to get him to cry so they could clip it. After the clip he cried for less than five minutes and was happy for the rest of the day smiling at anyone who would look at him. He did bleed a little through out the day. We think that he might need it a little more clipped because he still can not stick his tongue out of his mouth but at least he can move his tongue to the side of his mouth. He couldn't do that before. I know that the Doctors don't view clipping the tongue as something that is necessary but I do. How is he going to play in the band without the movement of his tongue? Shouldn't every child be able to stick their tongue out with they get in a fight with their sibling?

Mikey is now adding to the number of doctor visits. He is just plain sick of getting tonsil stones. I don't blame him because it is just gross. So we have decided that since it is getting worse we are going to get his tonsils removed and he is also going to have nose surgery. The nose surgery is to open up his air way so that he can breath a little better. I guess he has a lot of extra bone in his nose. Mikey is hoping that he will be able to sleep better with having his nose being clear and will be less tired. I wish that I could have a simple surgery like that so that I will not be tired all the time.

We also are seeing a new dentist! He is telling us a mile long list of problems. We are going to get second opinion.

Some other things are happening. Max is very good a scooting across the floor. He also is starting to like scooting underneath things for example: Chairs, tables, coffee tables and much more. He is also starting to eat solids a little better. He does not blow raspberries with every bite now!
