Those are some nice genes

Today we took Chloe to the geneticist. I was actually a little unsure why we were going but knew that Chloe's pediatrician really wanted us to see a genetic doctor. They took lots of pictures while we were there and did lots of measurements and asked lots of questions about our family tree (one of my favorites was, "Are the two of you related" [meaning Sean and me]). The doctor said he was hesitant to make a diagnosis because Chloe is cognitively on track so he said, "Come back in a year." This is something we hear from specialists a lot. He said he was going to research her a little more but that if she was developing normally there was no reason to get any genetics tests done (they do an MRI of the brain first and then chromosome testing which is pretty spendy). We said, "Sounds good," and off we went back to our normal lives. They did ask us to bring some pictures in of our families so if you are an immediate family member the doctor has your picture and he's planning on studying it!
