I saw a very small 2 month old today. He was so tiny in his big carseat. I can hardly believe S&E were ever that small...let alone weighing only a pound less than a year ago. I am so excited at how far they've come, but a part of me is sad...my babies are growing up too fast!
In eating news, today, as they've been doing all week, between the two of them, S&E finished a whole jar of baby food in one sitting. They have both been taking 1/2 a jar at each feeding. I'm so proud. Beanie is doing much better with opening her mouth and taking her baby food from the spoon. We still have an OT appointment coming up, but I feel a little less nervous about some kind of feeding aversion than I did a few weeks ago.
Socially, they are playing more with each other. They definitely have their own language between the two of them, and just a few seconds ago they were on their bellies looking at each other, smiling and going back and forth "talking" to each other. They also want the toy that other has. Serena still dominates in the fine motor department, but Edwin has made major progress in the past 3 weeks, and now grabs toys out of Beanie's hands! Beanie then makes her dinosaur noise and grabs it back. They are too funny.
They get HUGE smiles when they see me or other people they love...like Daddy, Grammy, and their nurses. They even gave HUGE smiles to our EI worker today. They are currently into toys that light up and make noise including their pulse ox monitors. Speaking of O2 related things, Serena is tolerating sleeping without O2 for anywhere from 5 minutes to 35 minutes, but eventually needs some flow which is due to her airway issues, which hopefully will resolve as she gets bigger. Mr Champ is still on 400ccs, as we are only weaning by 50ccs a month. We have an appointment next month and I am hoping we can increase the wean to biweekly as he sats at 99-100 all the time. We just have to make sure his EKG comes back with no pulmonary hypertension. We will be praying for good news with that.
All in all, they are getting big...I wish I knew how big exactly but we don't have an infant scale :( They are having fun playing, exploring their world, and enjoying being the center of our world. I can't believe we will be celebrating their first birthday next month...yikes I have to make out those invitations!!!!
