what a big girl!!

They were in preemie diapers until they were 2 mths old and now wear size 2 diapers!

Evie in preemies

now in twos!!

Evie is doing so much better with her head control. The doctor is sending us to a neurologist for her head shape so we will let you know how that goes.
She went to physical therapy last week and has improved so much. They will now see her once a month instead of twice. She is doing great looking to the right and keeping her head that way. She follows toys all the way from left to right, she used to stop midway. Another thing Jodi said to do was work on getting her to look up. Her back neck muscles are still a little week and she usually keeps her head down even when we put her on her belly.

They have both improved though...

tummy time then

Tummy time now :)

I used to be able to carry them in the car seats at the same time but not anymore, they are way to heavy!

Getting ready to come home from the NICU

Much bigger :)

I love reading to the girls. Being a prek teacher i know how important it is. They retain so much in the first few years. Even though you think what you are saying is pointless, their brains are storing and storing!

They didnt seem interested then

(look at their monitor cords, i forgot all about those apnea monitors)

They are interested now!

Ramsey turns the page faster than i can read and Evie grabs everything on the page

If you know Jonathan at all you know how involved he is and what a great girl dad he is! haha We always joke about how he will be the dad who wants to hang out during the girls sleepovers talking about anything and everything. He is willing and does takes care of them by himself. He is more patient and laid back and that is great cause i am not sometimes. He walks straight in the door from work and before doing anything sits down and plays with them. It is so fun to see them get so excited to see him. Evie loves him the most. She watches him and follows him wherever he goes and smiles at him all the time.

They were in love then

They are even more in love now

Some new things they have been doing..

we do have to learn to share...so we switch :)

We will be starting rice cereal and first foods this week so more pics to come of that yummy messiness:) We gave them some bananas Sunday. Ramsey cried for more and Evie wasn't sure what to think so we will see.
As i am typing this my Evie girl is sick again. She started throwing up during her nap today and she wines unless i am holding her :( Everyone else is asleep but we are cuddling. I rarely get this one on one time so i am not complaining!
