Our girls had the helmets for almost 3 months and their heads are much more round now.
Alexis got RSV around the time of the Super Bowl and spent 3 days in the hospital.
We've taken several trips with the girls (including visits to GA, FL, and NY).
Abby was pregnant in April but miscarried fairly early on in the pregnancy.
My (Jason's) sister is getting married in a couple weeks and our girls will be flower girls in the wedding while Abby and I will be in the wedding party as well (we get to walk together).
That's our life in a few sentences over the last several months.
The latest that is going on with our girls....
Alexis - She is a super fast crawler, and she is able to pull herself up to anything now. She is cruising (walking along objects while leaning onto them) and will be walking soon. She has recently been making funny noises with her tongue and voice together. It's quite cute, but no first words yet. She says da da da da, and ma ma ma ma but it's obvious she isn't calling for mom or dad.
Alana - She is also crawling and able to pull herself up to most things. She is starting to cruise but only using baby steps. Her latest quirk is holding her hands in the air and making all kinds of gestures with them while screaming. It's not a mad or sad scream, just a "listen to me I have something to say" scream. Also very cute.
Both - We had a visit with a developmental pediatrician a couple months ago and he said that if the girls weren't walking within three months (the end of August) that he would like an MRI done on their brains. He is somewhat concerned with the possible shortage of "white matter" which controls motor skills (ie: they may have cerebral palsy). If they do have this it would be a very minor form. Both are EXPECTED to be able to walk and be normal cognitively. We hope for no CP, but if it is ever diagnosed we're not worried as our girls have already come so far. It's amazing to look back at the pictures of when they were first born and then see them now!
