Something new and exciting!

LOOK AT ADDISON!!!

Yep, he's SITTING!!!!! Actually, they're both sitting. They're not fully unassisted but they're able to sit alone, for a significant amount of time before falling over or forward. I'm so incredibly proud of them and I had tears in my eyes during their physical therapy this afternoon. Just last week, I talked to Matt (their therapist) about how I feel frustrated that we're not making more progress. They have really struggled since getting sick way back in March. They really slowed down their progress and it was very hard to look ahead and remain positive. They're still trying to get rid of whatever bug they have. They're doing much better and only need the nebulizer in the morning and before bed. They have one more day of Ora-pred and a few more days of antibiotics for their ear infections. They're shaping up to be in perfect health for their big birthday! Hopefully we won't be back to the doctor until June 19th, when we go for their 1 year well visit. Their weight gain has slowed since they got sick so we've started supplementing with some formula. Mostly while Ian is home with them. They just can't eat enough. They're drinking 5-6 ounces every 2-3 hours.

And, as you can tell, I've changed the look of their blog. I had always thought the green was dark and kind of dreary so I found something a little lighter and less gloomy. That picture up at the very top of the blog is Addison when he was 1 day old. It's crazy to look at pictures from their early days and see how well they've grown.

Both boys are awake and ready to play so that's all for now.
