we're not preemies any more....

Just a quick update! Spent the LONGEST..... time at the ped's office yesterday (that is a story in itself) but at least we have some updated weights :
Mateo - a whopping 19lbs
Mary - 1 oz shy of 18lbs
Gabby - 15+ lbs

All are on their growth charts for "regular" babies. (Usually, the Dr's need to adjust the growth charts for preemie babies because preemies take a long time to catch up to babies that are born at regular 40wk gestation....but our babies have already caught up (and surpassed) regular baby standards)...what an accomplishment!!

With growing up comes changes.... they are much more demanding than they were before...wanting "mommy's" attention all the time...being fussy about what to eat and when to drink their bottles....wanting to play more and being picky about which toys they are playing with....starting to crawl and move around (I found Gabby by the treadmill today!) and lots of screaming - both from excitement and frustration. Every day I see something different than I did the day before....

The fun is just beginning...
