The Bros in Action

This video is two months old (7 months) but it at least shows a little interaction. I have a lot more pics to add in the coming days as well as results from their 9 month appointment.

My Favorite Pic from Stanley

He has taken so many and they are all terrific. Here is my favorite so far.

Joshua, Major, Caleb, & Cooper

They are all doing really well. Someone generally wakes up one to five times a night but no feedings and only pampering and praying they go back to sleep. They are all smiling very easily. Cooper almost took his entire bottle this morning with one of our bottle aids (not sure of the Latin name) . Major did pretty well with his as well. It's the next best thing to them holding their own bottle.

Hope all is well with everyone,

What Great Pics Stanley

A good friend of mine came over to take a few pictures of the "brothers" on Saturday. This is a sampling of what he sent us. There will be a lot more to come and post of course.

Caleb took a nap through these. Next time we will have more of Caleb & the "brothers

Major, Joshua (leaning), Cooper

Major, Joshua, Cooper


Major - I believe he will be a little bit of a ham. Actually I think they all will be.

That is all for now - have a great day.

Almost 7 Most Months!

I will update with text later - I wanted to FINALLY get the pics published.

Meds

One other update I forgot to mention on the last time - no more Reglin and Bethanacol for Major and Joshua. Cooper is still on both for now. All three will continue with Prevacid. For those of you familiar with the setup you know what an absolute pain giving the medicine 30 minutes before a feed could be. The fact that two of them are off makes it so much easier.

We have also introduced solids - they are all eating that tasty rice cereal concoction :-) They tried some green peas last night too. So far, and this can change from one feed to the other, Major seems to like the solids with Joshua being ok with them and Cooper really not impressed.

Have a good one,

6 Months Old June 1st

First let me say I was very premature in saying they sleep through the night. I think what I really meant was they do not have to eat any longer during the night. That in itself is huge. Major is all aces, in fact that is a nickname he has now. The reason is he does in fact sleep through the night. Joshua has about a 25% chance of making it through and Cooper has a 0% chance. It generally takes a little patting on the back or rocking and they are back a sleep.

They went to the Dr today for their 6 month checkup. Here are the numbers, just like we used to do in the old hospital days.

------- Height Weight
Cooper ---26 in -16.8 lbs
Joshua ---26 ---15.3
Major ---25 ----15

I am not sure how but Cooper and Major have the same size head - 17 1/4 FOC

They are all growing and doing very well. Cooper is in the 25 to 50% for height & weight for full term singletons born on Dec 1st. That is absolutely amazing. Joshua is in the 25 to 50% for height. Joshua and Major are in the 10% group for weight and Major is in the 10% group for height.

We are very thankful for their good health and all the help we have received.

Talk to you later -
