We’ve added….
A couple of 2 word sentences to our vocabulary. It started off with Kellar coming up to me and saying “hold deee” ok so maybe the deee isn’t really a word but I know what he meant and hey it’s a start at least, and I am proud to say that deee is now pronounced me. Kellar also was eating cookies at his MeMe and Paws when he said “more cookie”, I don’t think you could have slapped the grin off my face! Last night while Kellar was eating, well first let me tell you how much this kid ate. Kellar loves turkey and cheese lunchables, when I opened the fridge he said “turkey” so I got him one down put him in his chair and I blinked and it was all gone, he started saying it again so we opened another one, the kid ate all of that as well. Joey and Kellar then left and went to Arbys ( okay so I had a rather lazy night and cooking was not on my agenda ) and he came back and ate a sandwhich, fries and then wanted more turkey, I am honestly not sure where he put it all. Kellar loves cantaloupe so I figured I would buy a watermelon and see if he has the same love for it as I do, I ate so much watermelon while I was pregnant. He kept pointing at it and saying melon, I said “daddy will cut the melon in a minute” so he starts pointing and saying “melon cut” yea yea it’s backwards but it’s 2 words! He is also getting really good at repeating 2 word things, I have been really trying to say 2 worded things to him, I have tried sneaking in 3 but guess for now I better stick with 2. His talking while playing alone is really starting to take off, I’ll catch him over in his corner playing and just a babbling to himself. I think he is so smart, he amazes me with stuff that he knows, he was trying to get a handheld game out from between his bed rail and the mattress and he pulled on it and looked at Joey and said “stuck” and grunted while trying to pull it, he knows what a penny is, how on earth he learned that I am still not sure, he also knows that it’s called money as well. My memaw was wearing a watch and my mom said Kellar what’s that and he looked at it and said “clock” I think he learned that from Blues Clues. When we walk outside he’ll look up at the sky and say “clouds”. He is growing up so fast and learning new stuff everyday, he amazes me and melts my heart with the “hold me”, I love this kiddo! Let me add more chips, sit down and Burger King to that list. Yippeeeee!

Kids make you do the craziest things…
Like leaving your purse in one of the busiest restraunts in Texarkana on a Sunday afternoon. Sad thing though is that I had no idea it was missing till they called me…8 hours later. What would make me do such a thing? Well lets see, it started off with Kellar throwing his crayon and hitting the lady sitting at the table next to us on the leg ( they were very fluent in another language so I’m sure they were talking about it ) I know I should have apologized for him but I didn’t, then again I should have never gave him the crayons back after he threw them the first time. Kellar has this thing about when he’s done with his food he wants to start raking his hands back and forth over his food and seeing how much he can get in the floor with one swipe, he has gotten his hand spatted numerous times over this and still does it, spatting his hand today also got me a look from the table next to us. As if the all of the above was not enough, Kellar decided to jerk my to go container out of my hand and dumped my oh so yummy piece of chicken fried chicken in my dads lap, I had just poured the gravy off of my plate and onto the chicken when he decided he wanted to play a game of tug o war with the container, needless to say he won and my dads pants got the chicken and gravy. I was speechless and to see if he could possibly get me to slide under the table he decided to start raking what food was left on his mat onto the floor again, hey guess if I would have hid under the table maybe I would have seen my purse there, the waitress came over and dad said “get us our ticket before he tears up this place” of course he thinks everything Kellar does it cute, I mean I do too to a certain point but today I was flustered and had one thing on my mind and it was not my purse, at that point I didn’t even realize I even owned a purse! Thank goodness nothing is missing, I did however call and cancel any cards I had in there. Kellar buddy we could be eating on chicken fried chicken for lunch today, he’s such a little stinker but gosh I sure do love him…
2 year check up.
Kellar went to Dallas Thursday for his 2 year check up and for once I did not leave there with this nauseating feeling in the pit of my stomach. The dr seemed to be very impressed with how far Kellar has come! Kellar walked all over the place, climbing in chairs and pointing to things and saying what he thought they were. He mentioned that I may need to start looking into a special school for Kellar, I hear the words come out of his mouth but it hit me after he had walked away and I felt the queeziness creeping up on me. The nurse came and called us back and began asking me a lot of questions about what Kellar is doing ( I ‘m assuming she had a list of things he should be doing or attempting to do ) and Dr. Suterwala came in and said he wanted to come in and observe Kellar some more. I had a chance to ask him about the special school and if he felt that Kellar would need to be in a special needs school and if so why would he think that, he said that is not what he meant, he was meaning I should look into getting Kellar into a preschool program when he hits about 3. He told me that he was not concerned about Kellars development and felt Kellar was doing great and by looking at him he is not seeing any effects from his bilateral grade 3 bleeds, he did however comment on Kellars gait. I knew it was coming, it was a little hard to hear it come from someone else but in my heart I knew that there was a visible difference in Kellars gait and other 2 year olds. He felt that this was a direct result of Kellars cerebellum damage, thankfully his balance has improved and I’ll be praying it continually gets better as he walks more and more. He noticed that Kellar drools like a mad man, he didn’t make any reccomendations on how to get it under control and pretty much agreed that Kellar is a mouth breather and when he’s doing something his mouth is open. He sort of tested Kellars cognitive skills, Kellar did great! They felt that his speech is something that will just take off one day but like everyone they would like to see 2 word sentences. I am very proud of my lil man. He is in the 50-75th percentile for his weight, 50th for his height and ya know I’m just not sure where his head circumference was on the chart. Kellar got his 2nd hep A shot, poor baby knows exactly what those nurses are up to when 2 walk in and one squats down in front of him. I asked the dr if he would continue to follow Kellar and hopefully get more info out there for other parents who may one day face having a child with cerebellum damage. When I was told of Kellars bleed I desperately wanted studies, statistics and sadly there’s not much out there, he said he definately planned on continuing to follow Kellars progress for studies he is conducting on grade 3 and 4 IVH and on the cerebellum since out of the whole practice Kellar and 1 other child are ones he sees with cerebellum damage. I can’t tell you how nice it was to leave there and be so anxious to pick up the phone and call everyone to tell them news that made my day!!!
