Good Doctor Reports for Reese

Well since the last time I made a post Reese has been to the pediatrician and the orthopeidic specialist.  Both visits went very well.  Reese weighed 13 pounds 2.5 ounces and is now getting cereal twice a day.  She officially has thunder thighs and we are all proud of them!  The news from the orthopeidic was good too.  At this point they hope that her legs (knees and feet) will naturally correct themselves and move more inward as she starts crawling and walking.  We will go back 3-4 months after she starts walking so until then we will keep doing the leg exercises we have been doing. 

Ava is doing more turning to her side and doing really well on her belly.  She is pushing up more and more but still needs a little assistance getting all the way over to her tummy.  Darn tubes and wires!  She heads back to Children's Mercy on Monday for a marathon of appointments including the vent clinic, OT, and PT.  We will definitely fill you all in on how those go. 

In the meantime, enjoy the pictures of our precious girls. 

Our first experience watching a DVD of nursery rhymes.

Needless to say...the girls were enthralled.

Ava REALLY taking a break from tummy time.

No matter where we lay Reese in her pack n play...she always finds a corner to bury her head.

Fun times with Grammy.  Thank you to our special twin neighbor boys for handing down their toys!

  1. Reese is almost as big as Violet - (born 11/3)!

    Love the pics! Who can blame Ava for falling asleep - that tummy time is not nearly as fun as a nap.

    It's amazing how far both of your girls have come!
