Finally growing!

Well not finally, but they are growing faster! Today we went to another appointment and the boys ad their weights and lengths checked. Aiden weighed in at 18 lbs 2 ounces and was 27 1/2 inches long! Nathaniel weighed in at exactly 20 lbs and he was exactly 28 inches long! HOORAY!! For Aiden's corrected age (9 1/2 months) he is 7% for weight and 10% for length, Nate is 25% for both length and weight. But if you don't adjust for their 3 month prematurity, Nate is 10% for weight and 4% for length. Aiden would still not even be on the charts. But they are growing, and that is good. We are making progress, and that is good. They are working on their forefinger and thumb grasping and we are making progress, and that is good. Nate is taking 7-9 steps at a time, and that is good. Aiden is trying to take steps and that is good. God is good. I will leave you with some pictures form our latest photo shoot with Cindy.

11 months old and a year ago today....


Aiden - 11 months

Nathaniel - 11 months

You read that right. 11 months old. You know it has come to the point where I don't want them to get any older, I want them to stay this age forever... okay maybe not, but they are so playful, and so cute right now. But as you can see they are becoming little men. Both are crawling and pulling up on everything. Aiden and Nathaniel both can now go from crawling to sitting. Nathaniel has decided once he pulls up on something he must let go and see how long he can stand there, sometimes he tries to take a step. One more month and we will celebrating their 1st birthday! 1 year ago today we had the ultrasound that changed our lives forever. September 5 2007 we found out that our boys had TTTS. I was 23 weeks and 5 days when we found out that our boys might not make it into this world alive. http://aidenandnathaniel.blogspot.com/2007/10/roller-coaster-of-day.html
That was the original post, you are more than welcome to visit earlier posts and see what our journey has been like. If your going through TTTS or have already gone through it, God be with you. I am here to listen and give as much support as I can.
Who is who??
