Updated the Growth Charts with Andy's latest stats.
He's now crawling pretty well, but still not fast enough to catch the cats (which I am sure they are relieved). He's able to pull himself up to a standing position, much to the chagrin of the other kids at daycare (apparently he now likes to torment them while they are sitting on the couch by pinching them...just wait until he starts walking!). He also has started to clap his hands a bit here and there (usually when we aren't watching). Finally, he has a couple of more teeth poking their way in (that's four total now).
In other "not so cheerful" news, he had a UTI a few weeks ago. it was treated with some anti-biotics and seemed to go away. However, after some further tests ( ultrasound and a VCUG) it was determined that he has a condition called Vesicoureteral reflux. This is basically a condition that allows urine to flow back to the kidneys from the bladder. We have to keep him on once a day anti-biotics to prevent another UTI, until we can see a Urologist (which won't be until mid-January). Hopefully, we'll learn more about the course of treatment then (they try to strt off with non-evasive procedures first, before resorting to surgery to repair the considtion). Stay tuned...
