We are 6 months old!

Half a year has past since these joys came into our life. Nothing like having children to make you realize how time really does fly. Their 5th month has definitely been my favorite. The smiles and laughs are the best, they sleep well at night, they nap well in the day, they even interact with each other a little - holding hands mostly. Precious! We had their developmental follow-up appointment today. This is offered to all preemies. They were also evaluated by a speech therapist who was very impressed with all the words they can say. Haha just kidding! But she did like all of their coos and squeals. Their development is measured on adjusted age, so that's 4 months. They are right on track and even ahead in some areas. They have their official 6 month appointment on Friday so we'll update you all on how that goes too.

Check out our "watch us grow" pictures to see how much they have changed.

We'll bring you up to speed on the babes so far.

Samuel:
Likes playing in his exersaucer, chewing on his stuffed doggie's nose, looking out for his sisters, snuggling, talking in his sleep, singing in church, and watching the models come down the stairs on Deal Or No Deal.
Dislikes getting his arms put into his sleeves, when mommy walks out of the room, when people try to flatten his spikey hair, and losing at checkers.




Julia:
Likes watching everything - especially people, wearing bows in her hair, anything pink, fashion magazines, and blowing spit bubbles.
Dislikes it when people call her "Julie." Please - it's Julia or Jules. As in Crown Jewels. She is a princess after all! When a stranger gets too close, sleeping anywhere other than in a laying down position and in a dark room, and rap music.






Sophia:
Likes leaning her head back as far as she can, smiling with her whole face, red-heads, and her DADDY!
Dislikes eating first thing in the morning - she needs to observe the world first! Getting her sleep sack on at night, when her computer freezes up, and Star Wars movies (she's a trek fan). (so Daddy says).
