It's had to believe that it has been over six months since the kids were born. There is still not a day that goes by that I don't get teary eyed with how amazing they are.
Alec is over 14lbs. He is in the 50th percentile for his corrected age (they compare the kids in growth and development to what age they would have been based on their due date of February 10th). If he can get over 56 in the next six weeks, they will let us which to a less expensive baby formula and possibly start to introduce solids. He loves to swing his arms around like crazy to get all of the hanging toys to move and make noise. He is also babbling up a storm... We are really enjoying the fun noises he makes.
Lilah is doing well. She is about 12lbs and is in the 25th percentile for her corrected age which is awesome considering all of the spitting up she does. We have been increasing her volume and speed of the pump so between that and her reflux, it's been a little bit of a challenge. Her attitude couldn't be better about it. She is still fussy at times (who wouldn't be? Reflux hurts!) but her smiles even to strangers are become more frequent. She isn't rolling over just yet, but it will be any day now.
A few days ago she was on the play mat and started to pick up her butt with her legs and move closer to a toy she couldn't reach. She's a smart girl! She does not babble like Alec yet, but she does like to put out a quick scream for no reason other then to test out her voice. Those sounds are pretty funny too.
