7th Month Checkup

Today was Danika's 7th month doctor check up! Wow and it was a busy one. Apparently at 6 months babies get their first hearing and vision test. How exciting! We had no idea this was going to happen today - along with getting her ears pierced! ,more on that in the post below. The vision test involved Danika being hooked up to a machine and through a black curtain there was a small screen showing bright colorful images and black & white images flashing. They also covered one eye at a time and she looked like a little pirate! She had to get these round sensor tabs with wires attached stuck all to her head and back of neck using Vaseline. Yuck it was a mess they kept sliding off of her and the doctor had to keep reattaching them. She looked like she was in some freaky science experiment!!!

Hey lady what are you doing to me

Daddy! Stop taking my picture and help get me outta here! How do I look?

The hearing test involved putting something an instrument in her hear and it would make a loud high pitch sound but she had to hold it there for a few minutes to get an accurate reading. She did both ears but was only able to get a reading in one, Danika keep moving her head away she wanted none of that! But she passed and as long as the doctor got one result that was ok for now. Danika passed both tests and she gets retested at her 1 year appointment!
