I can't believe the babies are already 4 months old. Time is passing so quickly yet so slowly at the same time!!! The babies saw Dr. Cook on Tuesday for their 4 month check-up and shots. They are all gaining weight, but of course, are still small compared to term babies. Cameron was 11 lbs. 4 oz. 1 % tile, 23 " long 2% tile, and head is 15 1/4" 0% tile. The doctor was pleased with his development and motor skills and said he was meeting his milestones well for now. Parker was 10 lbs. 11 oz 0% tile, 22" long 0% tile, and head was 15 1/2" 2% tile. He has mild torticollis, which is shortening of the neck muscle, and slight head flattening on one side due to the torticollis. I am managing his treatment at home for now with daily exercises 5 times a day which are really making a difference, but PT has been recommended. Waiting on insurance to see if PT will be approved at Our Childrens House Baylor in Allen. He is doing okay developmentally with his head control being a little weaker. Katelyn is 10 lbs. 10 oz 3% tile, 22 1/4" 2% tile, and head is 15" 1% tile. The doctor was most pleased with her growth and with her motor skills. She is the most developed and Dr. Cook was quite surprised by her strength and head control and bearing weight on her legs. He said he wouldn't even expect term babies to have that much control at this age! Way to go Miss Katie Kate! All the babies are still very messy eaters due to poor mouth muscles and have been approved for speech/feeding therapy at OCH also...just waiting on insurance approval to start. Still battling reflux...medicine has been increased...may try formula change in 1-2 weeks if it isn't much better! They are all really smiling, talking, and cooing. Cameron seems to really like big sister Savannah and today she taught him step by step how to go potty on the big girl potty. It was so cute! Parker is mama's boy, and Katelyn is definitely a daddy's girl! She lights up and flirts like crazy when he is around! We're hanging in here as things are crazy busy all the time, but we're settling into a routine that seems to work. Now I just need to figure out how to get more hours into the day!!!
