5 weeks old today...

This week Sydney had her 1 month check-up.  She weighs 9.08 oz and is 20.5 inches long.  We took her to get an x-ray of her neck just to make sure there are not any issues with her C-spine.  The doctor just wants to be sure that her Torticollis is the only problem and there isn’t something else going on with her neck.  The doctor also wants us to take her to a pediatric neurologist because her head is measuring in the upper 98% so it is slightly larger than it should be.  She wants to be able to rule out any problems with her cranium – and just be able to say Sydney’s got a big head J  Physical therapy and home stretching seem to be working well for her Torticollis. She slept through most of today’s appointment but the therapist was able to get good rotation and stretching while she was relaxed.  All of these doctors appointment as annoying but at least we are having all of this stuff checked and ruled out now.  The pediatrician also said she will probably have blue eyes, although they can still change, but they are light and definitely blue now.  Sydney got to meet her Uncle Stacey last night (although the slept most of the visit) and will get to meet her Grandma and Grandpa Basham in the next couple of days.

Sydney slept through her first two NFL games last Sunday but she represented Mommy and Daddy’s teams J
