Quick update before bed

Hello all.
As you saw in the previous post's pics, Serena is off O2 quite a bit now. Tomorrow we will be at 8 hours off per day while awake. She is doing amazing and never really drops below 96+ while awake with no O2. It's when she drifts asleep that she will sometimes alarm at 90%, but MANY times I have peeked at her while asleep and she has managed to get the prongs out of her nose where they are found resting on the bridge of her nose and she is still satting 100%. We will continue with every week 2 more additional hours off, and then go to 1-2 hours off while asleep as tolerated. She's my star and I am so proud of her.
Edwin is also doing well. He is now at only 150 ccs of O2 and will be at 100ccs next week. After a week at 100ccs he too will practice at time off, but probably 1/2 hour per day as he is a little more unstable with his sats, although he does fine, he's not always 100% like Serena. It's so nice to see their progress with weaning.
In other news they are both doing great developmentally. Edwin's practicing better head control and working on lifting his head back up once he lays it down during tummy time, Serena continues to do amazing with her tummy time and head control. Both are so social and so curious about everything. They are also bringing toys to their mouths and sucking their fists and fingers all the time. They are swatting at toys occasionally as well. They are so adorable, and get cuter by the day.
Here are some sweet pictures of them sleeping. Note Edwin's hand by his mouth, and Serena "chillin" with one knee up and bent while asleep!
