Update on the boys

My baby is 9 months old. He weighs 20lbs 12oz and 29 inches long. He is crusing along the furniture & the dr is predicting he will be trying to take his first steps very soon. He can stand alone for a few seconds at a time without holding onto furniture. He is so sweet and laid back. He is growing so fast and has 4 teeth with 2 just getting ready to pop through the gum.
I also had a consultation on Jack. He has always been an energetic boy. The older he gets, the harder it is to control him. He gets so defiant or angry and it takes hours to get through to him. I have tried so many ways to try to get through to him including changing his diet and adding in various vitamins. We are in the beginning stages of diagnosing with ADD or ADHD. I am filling out papers for the pediatrican. Also being referred to a developmental specialist (although it will take months to get in) and a behaviorist. I am struggling just because it is beyond my control. The pediatrician alone may be able to prescribe medication if it is needed. I want to set him up for success and he's so funny and sweet..i want others to see those qualities in him as well. Not a wild boy who won't listen when he gets super excited. I am sure I will be blogging about this as it is a major part of my life at the moment.
