Gay Yellow Pages
Oh hey...I forgot to mention that we are the supermodels in the Alma Midwifery ad in Portland's Gay Yellow Pages...pick up a copy and check us out!
6 Months
I know, I have been away too long especially as some sweet person thanked us for having this blog on our last post! I blame Facebook...it is an evil mistress that makes you start thinking about your life in one sentence fragments and obsess over all your old high school friends posts. But feel free to "friend" me if you are my friend and you can see all the inane quizzes I spend my time taking (my hippie name is Meadow Lotus Song and I rock at Buffy the Vampire Slayer trivia!). ANYWAY...back to the fabulousness that is our child.
Quinn had her 6 month checkup today. This doesn't mean that we haven't seen a pediatrician since her 4 month (we went in for welts and for congestion) but this was the first routine visit since then. She is in the 90% for head circumference, the 95% for height and the 85% for weight. She is a healthy active growing baby! She has started saying dadadadadada quite I bit (yes, I can appreciate the irony in that) and is still very strong. She loves to be on her tummy and push up on her arms. They did note that one of her eyes doesn't quite track as well---at little bit cross eyed so we are to see a pediatric ophthamologist (we have been referred to Dr. Wheeler: http://www.ohsucasey.com/bios/wheeler.html) for that. I have passed on my crappy vision genetics as I think I have something similar and the one of the few things that we didn't love about the sperm donor was that his vision sucked as well. Oh well, yay for early intervention! She will look quite dashing in an eye patch or tiny glasses.
Taylor and I feel like we are getting a little bit back to normal as a couple and as a family. I find the gender issues or people's perceptions of gender more challenging sometimes than anything having to do with sexual orientation but that is a ramble for another post!
Much love to all...
