We went to the pediatrician on Wednesday and everyone is doing great. To my surprise we all get to transition to whole milk!! I have been slowly trying to wean them off the bottle but wow its alot harder than I ever imagined. It was drilled into my head in the NICU how vital it was for them to take as much milk as possible. In order to be sure they are getting their milk I have decided that we will still do a few bottles a day until we really get the sippy cup mastered. Otherwise, we got a thumbs up for great growth and development. We are being referred for some occupational therapy for Madelyn. I was noticing that she is still a little stiff which is a result of her prematurity and seems to have trouble straightening her legs when standing. So the doctor said it appeared to be that her upper legs just needed some stretching. However, it has seemed like from day one that she eventually just works it all out herself so I am not too worried about her and hopefully the therapy will move her development along a little more quickly.
We sure have come along way from a year ago…
Lila- 2lbs 15oz 16 inches long; 18lbs 5oz 28 3/4 inches long
Carter- 3lbs 10oz 16 inches long; 22lbs 14oz 29 1/2 inches long
Madelyn- 1lb 10oz 13 inches long; 14lbs 8oz 27 3/4 inches long
Its so hard to believe that they were ever that small!!!
GO UK
Life is so funny….I love these kids!
Right after the party we all got the sniffles…even mom and dad. This has never happened…right after they woke up in the morning they fell back asleep in the middle of the living room floor that’s when I knew they felt terrible!
Getting lotioned up after a bath..small, medium and large
Lila loves pointing at everything and say waaa….I think that is her way of asking what is that. She loves to get a book and climb in your lap and look through the book pointing and asking what things are…its adorable! She also has not one but two teeth coming in!
Carter is the typical boy…he is determined to do what he wants to do and you better not even try to interfere…he is so head strong! Here he is getting his first haircut…he looks stunned. He looks like a big boy now!!
Sporting his new look
Madelyn has not one not two but 4 teeth!! Little miss dance queen still loves bobbing that head back and forth when she hears music. Today we were saying ah-oh and she was trying to say it back and it was so cute. She seems to be the only one that is trying to mimic everything we do.
We have been cleaning out the basement and the babies just love all the boxes to play in…so why do we have all of these toys?
Carter was the only one big enough to be turned around in his car seat. Here he is for the first time looking even bigger than before!
Madelyn is now in the captains chair up front and on the way to the grocery store her and Carter where just cracking up at each other…it was so funny!
Let’s go Krogering..Lila was sitting in the cart and got her turn later!!
I can’t believe it but this weekend I put out the Christmas decorations and even put up the tree. This is very early for me but I was excited to see how the babies would react and to my surprise they could care less. We of course have it behind gates so I am sure if they could touch it that would be a different story but they seem to act like its not even there…oh well!!
