McTwins are growing!

The McTwins are really growing by leaps and bounds, seems they grow right before our eyes. Logan now weighs 15lbs 7 oz, and Landon weighs 12lbs 1 oz. For Landon, the apnea monitor has been discontinued and only uses oxygen at night, but still has to have breathing treatments once or twice daily,depending on the amount of wheezing he has from his asthma. Otherwise, they are doing great.

They were evaluated yesterday at the Developmental Clinic at Baptist Hospital in Jackson by a physical therapist, speech therapist and nurse practitioner. The good news is that they are on schedule developmentally for their adjusted age of 3 months, even though age wise they are 5 months old. They go back in July for another developmental evaluation, as well as an eye check up. The reason for the eye evaluation is that there are problems visually that preemies can develop, but our prayers have been answered that the McTwins haven't had any.

They're smiling, gurgling and making noises, which I'm certain they are saying "You're the greatest grandmother ever", you think?

Today was another first. The boys started on baby food, and carrots was the food of choice. The boys sit in their high chairs to eat, and as Landon told his mom, the whole family was going to eat togather at the table for supper. Smart little boys aren't they!

We continue to be blessed each and everyday as prayers have and continue to be answered. God is good!!!
