Debbie just turned 3 years old. She has frequent CAT scans to monitor her brain development. The most recent CAT scan determined that she does not need a shunt.  At birth, her head circumference was 14.6 inches. At the age of 3, her head circumference is 18.9 inches.

 

When she is placed in a sitting position, she can stay there, but she can’t get into the position independently.  She enjoys laying on her stomach. She can crawl.  She can walk while holding on to 2 hands.  When placed in a baby walker, she can move it.  She picks up toys and plays with them.   She pronounces sounds and responds to her name.  She smiles, makes eye contact and enjoys being held.  She eats from a spoon but is not yet feeding herself.
