Last week, the boys had their 4month checkup at the pediatrician, and they looked great! According to the scale in the office, Ben edges out Jack at 14lbs even. Jack was 13 lbs 15oz, so he is only one ounce behind! Not bad for a baby who was an entire lb behind his big baby brother at one point! They are in the 25-27 percentiles for height and weight now... they still have a way to 'grow,' but at 2 months they were in the 12-15th percentiles, so they are doing great! The doctor was very happy with their development, too. She said she would never even think of looking at them on the preemie developmental/growth charts- they look and act like 'normal' 4 month old boys. Great news!
Just a few recent pictures-- Jack is modeling the cute little pirate outfit that Ms. Pat gave to him.
And here's Ben in his matching outfit. Cute, huh?
And here's more fun with cereal and fruit. Ben has much improved the whole act of keeping food actually
in his mouth, so that's good.
Jack LOVES eating. He laughs and shrieks at us the entire time we are feeding him.
I guess all of this eating is paying off- we're so proud our our little preemies! They are a long way from 4lbs 9oz and 5lbs 3oz!
