Just an update

I'm sitting here trying to figure out, ok what's new lately? The days really seem to run into one another lately. Both Babies are doing great sleeping at night. Last night we put them down around 10pm and they slept till 750am. They take more of cat naps during the day than naps longer than an hour. We are also working on floor exercises as much as possible to try and round out their heads some more (preemies get flat sides to their heads a lot from being in bed so much in the hospital). They had PT this past week and they said they are already doing  better than they were 2 weeks prior.
One other item that Addison has to work on is bringing her arms up when she is laying flat on her back on the ground. She has been leaving the straight out and flat on the ground, so we have to help her bring them up until she builds up the strength in her arms. To do this we lay her flat on the ground, and then use a boppy pillow and have it basically in a "u" shape (the arms of the u are at her side and her legs are on top of the bottom part of the u). this makes her arms prop up on the boppy so she has an easier time bringing her hands to her mouth etc. She doesn't have any problem with that when she is sitting up in her swing or bouncy chair, it's just when she is laying flat on her back with her arms straight out.

Jackson's reflux seems to be doing better since he has been on meds. He's not screaming out in his sleep anymore. He is "talking" like crazy!! He loves to talk and smile. He is such a flirt. LOL

Addison doesn't talk as much as Jackson does. But she loves to smile all the time. She likes to stick her tongue out too. She laughs occasionally too. It is so adorable! I think today was the most she has talked in one day. I hope she keeps progressing and starts talking more and more (better watch what I wish for huh? ! LOL)

They are getting so big. I'll have to try and take some pictures of them tomorrow. :)  But here are a couple snapshots from a couple weeks ago.
