Penelope Fjord Rox is just fine Thank You

Our doctor was concerned over our 9 month old not crawling and set up an appointment for an early intervention team. We were cone concerned because our son was moving when he was born and Pepe was not sitting up or really crawling at all. She's very content and a little lazy. We really didn't have a whole lot of concern, but it's scary to hear your baby might not be doing well. The team came over and told us Pepe was awesome. She's just a little lazy.
If your baby is not crawling by 9 months do not be concerned. Penenlope had some issues with her feet. She didn't like putting her feet down on the ground at all. We started roughing up her feet a little bit, rubbing them on the carpet and giving little massages to her feet. She's getting better with putting her feet down now. She's starting to crawl on her hands and knees and she's still ridiculously cute.

If your infant has a fever..... remember to count hours and not calender days. It might have been 2 days... but only 24 hours. Over 103 degree temperature in an infant is cause for concern. Babies can get fevers from the sun. If exposed for awhile they can heat up. They aren't used to it and the sun's heat gets trapped in them. It's flippin true. I have had two kids and the first time they were out in the sun they both got sick. Remember the sunscreen and that your baby is brand new.

Hey ho lets go

Daddy dom is still going well. Two kids is pretty darn crazy. It's rough sometimes and the ehadaches are double. I am officially an old man. I have been getting some work done to the house. Water problems are insane. The whole back of my house is being dug out. I am an idiot. I have even taken over my neighbor's yard. oof.
