Six Month Check up

Yesterday Michael and Emily had their six month check up. The pediatrician said they are doing great. Michael weighs 13 pounds and 9 ounces and Emily weighs 14 pounds and 3 ounces. They are both well above 95% for preemies. On the regular chart compared to other six month olds, Michael is still below 5% but Emily is in the 20th percentile in length and weight. Their doctor thinks they should have no problem growing to their full potential. We are going to take Emily to a few sessions of physical therapy for her neck muscles. Her muscles are tight on one side which is starting to create a flat spot. At this point, it is still very minor and should correct itself when we get her muscles loosened up. Overall they have done amazingly well for babies born at 28 weeks. We feel very blessed and love watching them grow and change daily.
