Everyone is doing great!

Today we went to our 6 mos NICU follow-up at St. John's. I guess they like to monitor how the kiddos are doing. I figured it was a free check-up from some medical professionals to let us know that our babies are awesome. And, that is pretty much what they said :) They are about 6 mos adjusted age right now. The girls were right between 5-6 mos and Jimmy was right at 6 mos, so they are right on target. Jimmy weighed 24.5lbs, Cassie 17 something and Jenna is now the runt at 16.7lbs. So, Jimmy was off the charts for weight, but once we told him that Alli was huge when she was a baby too, and everyone in both of our families pretty much have big fat babies, Dr. Chow wasn't too concerned and said he wasn't worried if we weren't. And we're not :) And, I thought it was so nice that he remembered us from the NICU, what room we were in, by the window, etc.

My big man :)

Thought I would throw in a few pics of Alli......the Cardinal one is when she was 5 1/2 mos and the one of her on the chair is 8 mos. Too cute!!!! Everyone says Jimmy looks so much like her, but I can see all of them.


We have been doing physical therapy since we got their helmets about every 3 weeks b/c they all had a condition called torticollis (a condition in which the head is tilted toward one side, and the chin is elevated and turned toward the opposite side). Its pretty much tight neck muscles limiting the range when looking either way. Cassie's has been resolved, Jimmy's is doing way better, but Jenna is pretty bad. So, since we are involved with First Steps but have not been using any of the services, we are now going to take advantage and get a physical therapist to come out to the house to provide therapy for Jenna and Jimmy. I wish we would have thought of that sooner......we won't have to load all of the kids up, save gas money, save co-pays! I'm excited. Now, Jim and I have to get better and do the stretches....we always forget, which is not helping her!
This is a good example of how Jenna is always tilting her head to the right

Cassie and Jenna both started sitting up last week very well. I still keep the boppies around them just in case, but they all sit in a circle and play with the toys. Every time I bring a new toy over, Cassie is the one trying to grab it away from the others.

My dad took us all out to lunch last week to...GUESS?? Yep....Bread CO :) We took up a whole section and took lots of pictures. I'm sure we were getting on peoples nerves, but oh well.....Ann brought her twins and I had the triplets, so lots o lots of babies!

And, I guess all this heat brings lots of storms too! Allison finally got to use her umbrella last week.
