Almost 3 1/2

Cannot believe Ava will be 3 1/2 in just 3 weeks!! Last night she had a fever of 103.5 so we called the doctor and took her in today to get checked out.  She measured in at 39 pounds (91%) and 42 inches (99%)

Her tonsils were red and swollen as usual. She reminded us that we still need to get them out. We are hoping to wait till shes a little older and bigger before we do the surgery. We have to have a few other tests run to see if she has a UTI or anything of the sort.
She also gave us some info and referrals for some help with Ava's developmental delays.  I don't know if I've posted it on the blog that she's starting preschool next week. She will be receiving speech, physical and occupational therapy while there.  She is behind in gross motor, fine motor, speech and a few other areas. The only area she was not behind on was cognitive.

She's also being evaluated by the developmental pediatricians at the Utah State Health Department for her delays to determine if its just delay or if she may have Autism. We aren't entirely sure which way it will go. At the time we first met with the doctors on July 3rd her primary form of speech was something called Echolalia and now she has added some of her own formed speech in but not a ton. So I guess we will see.
