5 months

Another update on the girls' size: Taya weighs 11 pounds and 8 ounces and Haylen 11 pounds even. They are still not on the growth chart but nearing it quickly! They are out of their newborn size clothes as they are much too long and getting a belly! We have been told that head size and length will catch up before weight and belly. They outgrew their sleepsacks and I had to order new ones. They seem huge at first but I am sure it won't be long before we say they are getting small.

They are both starting to move their legs and can lift them into the air. Taya enjoys rolling to her right side from her back and Haylen is getting good at holding onto things. It is not quite as accidental anymore. They are beginning to look at each other more and both of them are really giving us some good smiles!

Stroller!

I just thought I would share a picture of our stroller travels. We have been making good use of it. We also tried out the carriers. They seem to enjoy it all. They are really starting to smile more and interact with us. I don't think they are quite fond of each other yet. Haylen has become quite a talker with her hands and they have enjoyed a new book with black and white shapes. The girls got an RSV shot and hopefully their last. The doctors office will determine how much RSV is in the community and see if the insurance companies will authorize them. I hope there is not much more and we can begin getting out more in May. At that appointment Taya weighed 9 pounds 14 ounces and Haylen was 9 pounds and 9 ounces. They are doing great! Their eating is going smoother and they are sleeping better at night. Still not figuring out napping well, but I am sure they will.

Just a bit late on the update of the last appointments :) The developmental clinic was good at Blank. The girls look to be about right on schedule where they should be, correct from the due date that is. The appointment was very complete and they did a lot so that was nice. We did stop by the nurses in the NICU and saw some physicians. They were all pleased how big they are! They did get their 4 month shots at the pediatrician. Taya weighed 8 pounds 12 oz and Haylen 8 pounds 8 oz.

We were able to out for a few walks. The girls seem to like their stroller and don't complain too much. There was even a few days that they really didn't want to wake up.

Today we have another early access visit to our house from their teacher and a doctor visit on friday for their last RSV shot.
