On the charts!

We went in for the boy's 6 month Dr apointment last week and they are all on the growth chart for their ACTUAL age instead of their adjusted age! This means they are on track for 6 month old growth, where before we always looked at the chart for their adjusted age (8 weeks younger). Mommy was very happy this :)

Evan: 16 lb 2 oz, 25.5 in
Payton: 14 lb 10 oz, 24.5 in
Riley: 15 lb 7 oz, 25.5 in

Riley, Evan and Payton at their appointment

Evan and Riley are in-between the 25th and 50th percentile and Payton made his mark on the 5th percentile curve. Dr. C was very thorough with the boys and the shots weren't even that bad. He is going to have us come back at 8 months and do hearing and vision re-checks and just to continue to establish them as patients. We are also now getting set up for the infant development program where a therapist will come to our house and work with the boys to make sure they are on track with their development given their prematurity. Our first intake visit is this Wednesday, I love home appointments! E and R continue to roll over both ways and often get very frustrated when they are on their bellies and can't move anywhere...Payton may just walk before he crawls- that boy has some strong legs and loves to stand. Payton and Riley are liking the rice cereal the most, Evan is not a fan. Maybe we will try a veggie this week.

We had a busy weekend and made a lot of progress at the house with the gutting, it's weird to say, but it's looking good! We have found the "bones" of the house are strong and in great condition. I think we should be spraying it with chemicals to kill any mold growth within the next day or two. Unfortunately Ben is still unable to work on it due to his back problems :( I hate seeing him in so much pain and his spirits are running low- this is the longest his pain has lasted since he originally bulged a disc in 2006. He is going back to the chiropractor today, we will see. The rest of our family and friends have really pulled together and I can't believe how hard EVERYONE has been working, we are so thankful.With the arrival of my brother from Martha's Vineyard and my dad from Jacksonville, FL, there is now 13 of us living under my aunt and uncle's roof! Now that's a full house.
