this baby girl is so wonderful. i love her and am so glad she FINALLY came to my dear sister a year ago. she is the sweetest. we celebrated her birthday on thursday and it was amazing. minie's birthday party was one for the history books.
bet you your first birthday wasn't this cool
jude was a little apprehensive of the bounce house at first...
Hi! I ran across your blog, and read about your daughter's "head bobble," testing and MRI. The way your daughter is holding her head in her pictures and the way she is looking out the sides of her eyes reminds me exactly of my son, who, at 7 months, was diagnosed with Ocular Motor Apraxia, which means he can't initiate fast horizontal eye movements. Babies with this condition compensate for their lack of eye movement by thrusting their heads from side to side. Dr Hoffman, a pediatric opthamologist at Primary Children's, is the one who made the diagnosis. It means his vision is perfect, but he can't move his eyes without tons of effort. His MRI also came back totally normal. I don't know if this will be helpful at all, but I know that I would have given anything to know what was going on, and not even my pediatrician had heard of this condition before my son. I might be way off base, and, in which case, just disregard this comment, but if I can answer any questions, feel free to email me at megjank@gmail.com
