8 month update from Dr. Monteil




from Dr. Monteil (Micaiah turned 8 months old on May 17)

Hello! I do trust you are doing fine. This afternoon I had the opportunity to see little Micaiah, she has now reached 8 months of age and has been doing, according to the caregiver, well in the time since she was seen for the last time one month ago, her growth and development judging form what I am told appears to be progressing well, she is very alert and shows interest in all that goes on around her, appears to understand some simple word and turns to things that are named, she also imitates some of the movements she sees (rising eyebrows for example), is able to keep the sitting position and will try to pull herself to the standing position, I am told that she also puts herself in the crawling position. I am told that she takes her diet very well and is also receiving the ordered vitamin supplement. Upon evaluation today I found her affected by a cold mainly with nasal congestion, sneezing and minimal chest congestion, otherwise this little one appears in good health with no obvious physical or neurological abnormalities, her weight is 15 lbs 1 oz, length of 63.9 cms and head circumference of 43.7 cms.

these pictures were taken by the dr. at her appointment.
