15 Months

Quinn had her 15 month doctor's appointment last week.  She weighs 23 pounds (71st percentile) and is in the 44th percentile in length.  She did great and hit all of the developmental check points.  When her doctor examined her eyes she didn't do as well and we were referred to an ophthalmologist to test her for possible strabismus or "lazy eye."  I had never noticed this before but since our appointment I have been paying more attention and may see what the doctor saw from time to time.

We have an appointment set for the end of August.  From what our doctor said, and my own research online, it seems that the early it is detected the better.  If she does have strabismus she will most likely need to wear a patch over her strong eye in order to strengthen the weaker eye until it is remedied.  Glasses may be in her future as well but I don't think that is an immediate response to lazy eye.  Who knows, maybe she doesn't have it at all?  I like our pediatrician because she is overly thorough and I am so grateful that she may have caught this very early on in Quinn's development!

We'll know more in August :)
