Sunday Funday

Ha, I posted this on Facebook today. Sunday funday's are a lot different than they used to be. In a very good way of course. :) They used to be about bloody marys, beer, and football. Now it's about groceries, laundry, and getting ready for the upcoming week.

Anyway, the kids are doing well. This past week we had a physical therapist and a nurse come out from the Birth to 3 program. Birth to 3 is a special program that the kids qualified for due to their prematurity that helps them with development should they need it. We went over a bunch of questions and the nurse looked at the kids. At the end of the visit they said that both kids were right on track with development so far. Yeah, that made me so happy. Unfortunately, we found out after the first visit that there is an income qualification associated with Birth to 3 and they want us to pay to continue the services so we aren't sure if they will be coming back.

Both kids are holding their heads up and just love looking at all the things going on around them. Dillan will follow a person across the room. Tyler isn't quite there yet but he's close. Tyler is the stronger of the two. It looks like he is doing push ups on the floor when you put him on his belly. He can lift his head all the way up. He can't quite bend it to look up at us yet but it should be any day now. Dillan can also lift her head when on her tummy but she does it more to turn from side to side. She can't really hold it up on her own yet.

Tyler has decided that he doesn't like to sleep much during the day and then he gets really cranky in the evenings. This weekend I found out that the only thing I could do to calm the poor kid was sing to him. Poor guy. It's not like I have a good singing voice but hey, if it works, I'll use it.

Dillan is usually pretty happy unless she gets a big gas bubble or something. She is still very vocal and has learned that she can make her voice get louder for short times. She's so funny. It's cute now but I'm sure I won't think so in a couple of months.

The kids are eating around 4.5 ounces every feeding now. At night they will usually go 4-5 hours in between feedings. Once in awhile we get 6 hours in there and we really REALLY appreciate that. It doesn't happen very often though.

Corey is off this coming week so hopefully we will get to do something fun as a family. Maybe for their 4 month birthday we will go somewhere fun. We also have a doctors appt this week so I will update if we learn any more new information.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer.

Joscy, Corey, Dillan & Tyler
