Last week, Harper had an appointment with the craniofacial team.  It was a multi-displinary clinic which consisted of meeting with 6 different doctors.
We met with speech pathology, genetics, plastic surgery, behavioral psychology, orthodontics, & an oral surgeon!
Our biggest concern with Harper is her speech.  The speech path doctor seems to think her speech is developing normally & has not recommended therapy at this time.
We've decided that it wouldn't do any harm to  have a few speech therapy sessions. 
Overall, there were no other concerns with her developement.
She shouldn't need anymore surgeries on her palate until she's 6 or 7yrs old.


On a funny note, while the psycholgist was talking to Harper, she asked Harper different questions.
What does a cow say??? Moo Moo
What does a doggie say?  Baxter bite...(Harper's response)
What?
I'm dying with embarrassment....I had to show her one of her babies.
This is one of the unlucky babies in our house.






Wasn't me!

That's Baxter & Baxter bites Harper's babies....he especially likes the face!
Baxter still has alot of puppy energy in him & we have to keep her toys picked up, otherwise, they will get destroyed.

In the time we've had him, he's chewed up an Ugg boot, an Emu boot, an area rug, numerous dog beds, including the tough-chew beds, playdough, numerous babies & much more.
He's the sweetest dog, but just has alot of energy!

These last 5 months have not only been an adjustment for us, it's been a huge change in our dogs lives as well.  In the BH (before Harper) days, I would walk them almost every day. Now, they're lucky to get a walk once a week.
Poor puppies....
