Well it only took 3 months for us to be double booked on doctor appointments. Paige had her ENT appointment at the same time Cole had his Speech appointment. So we did the only logical thing, we split them up based on sex. I took Cole and Tobie took Paige.

Paige was an absolute doll before the ENT appointment. She was playing with her toy and was very happy. That was until they jammed a camera down her nose into her throat. The doctor said her vocal cord is still paralyzed and will likely remain that way forever. The doctor said in all his experience, he has never not seen the other vocal cord compensate (am I cool with that double negative? not never, bah!!). He also said around 1 year old, Paige will have to learn to drink without thickener. Oh I’m looking forward to that. Tobie also told me the doctor was a hottie. I’m not sure what that means but lets just say I’ll be taking Paige to all future ENT appointments.

Cole has his first meeting with this new speech therapist. She’s pretty cool and seems to have lots of experience with little boys just like Cole. Luckily today Cole decided to be Classic Cole and not take the bottle. She was able to witness him in all is glory. She feels pretty confident we can help mold him into a more professional eater! She did comment many times how we have a little spitfire on our hands. Everyone keeps saying that about Cole. When is a good time to be scared?

We also had another peed appointment today. Seems Mr. Cole has done quite well for himself since his visit last week. He has gained an ounce a day and is now a svelt 12 pounds even. And the past week we had a few bad days of eating, so that’s a great accomplishment, plus he had his WMD poop this morning. While that is great news, the best news of the day is both babies are finally off of Poly Vi Sol. No more nasty iron supplements for them.
