Lumpy Heads

Mauer had his doctor’s appointment at the Seattle Children’s Hospital on Friday. Just sitting in the waiting room made us thankful that we have such a healthy child. The possibility of a “misshaped head” was nothing compared to the tiny kids with tubes coming out their noses. Our visit was less than 10 minutes and was very reassuring. This woman looks at faces and heads all day long. She could see what our pediatrician was concerned about and was able to determine (quickly) that Mauer’s head is JUST FINE! Then she asked Todd to take his hat off; he got a skull exam too! At that point, she was even more convinced that Mauer was developing “normally.”

On Friday, we celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary. We splurged and went out to dinner. Todd took Mauer and me to my favorite restaurant – the Hearthfire. This overlooks The Sound; it has a cool ambiance and great food. They are featuring a peach-lemonade. SO GOOD! Mauer was a champ at the restaurant; he sat in his highchair for almost an hour.

  1. I'm so glad to hear Mauer's fine! I had been worried about the little guy.

    Wish you'd told me you needed a babysitter Friday, I would have been ready and willing!
