The 3 kids went to the Pulmonologist today. They all did well with the lungs and we are going to start adjusting some of Ashley's medicine. The babies will still be on the same steroids. They were concerned about CJ's weight because instead of gaining weight over the last month he actually lost weight. They gave us a new food action plan for him. They also want him to have the Cystic Fibrosis Sweat Test done again. This was a major concern for us while he was in the NICU and now it is a concern again. He will also be having some chest a x-ray done again. Savannah goes to the ENT on Thursday for a follow-up and to make sure the cyst in her throat didn't get any bigger. That's all for now.

Last week the March of Dimes asked us to be the 2010 Ambassador Family for our area. We will be sharing our story via newspaper, radio, various events and possibly tv.
We are also thrilled to report that Savannah started crawling last Friday. She does seem to favor one leg to push off, but this is something that the Physical Therapist will work with us on.
CJ is also doing very well. He not only sits now on his own, but also stands. I think he will be walking by the end of June. He has also learned to clap.
They also seem to be more into each other. I caught them a few times holding hands. It really is fun to watch them and how they interact with each other.

We are very excited because Savannah just really started rolling over today. She has a few times in the past, but we never really witnessed it. However, today she even rolled over for the Physical Therapist 3x. Yeah!!!! Our little CJ is still cruising right along and is in to everything. He is always still little Savannah's toys. But now that she is more mobile she can get him back. He also cut a top front tooth yesterday. So he now has 3 teeth. We are still waiting for Savannah to cut a tooth, which I think will be any day now.

Last week the babies had their Special Care Follow Up appointment at Morristown. The babies seemed to like the attention and playing on the mat with the doctor and all the other people checking on their progress. For the most part they did well. There are a few things we have to watch. Savannah's head size is on the smaller side so we need to watch that. Also she is starting to rock which could be the sign of some kind of sensory problem, but we will just have to wait and see. The doctor would have liked them to both be sitting up at this point, but neither one are quite there yet. In my eyes they are doing very well and I am thrilled with the progress they have made thus far.

CJ and Savannah had their monthly doctor appt. last week and Savannah weighed in at 14 lbs. Not really sure why she did not gain any weight for the month, but no one seemed overly concerned. CJ is now at 15 lbs. 12 ounces.

Today, they had their hearing exam and both passed this time. YEAH.

Tomorrow Savannah has a follow up with the Orthopedic who will do new xrays on her spine to make sure everything is ok. If you re-call the last x-ray showed that she had scoliosis and would probably need to be put in a body cast. However, when the Orthopedic looked at her, he said no way does her spine look like the x-ray.

Wednesday they go to Morristown to meet with the developmental team to see how they are doing over all.
