2 Months Old!

It’s been a little while since the last blog update, but in this case no news is good news.

We had our 2 month pediatrician appointment last week so we can share the following measurements…
  • Alex: 9 lbs, 8 ½ oz. – 21 ¾ inches long
  • Logan: 9 lbs 4 ½ oz. – 22 1/10 inches long
  • Nick: 9 lbs 10 ½ oz – 22 9/10 inches long

The Inmates at Play
This puts them in the small-ish size for two month olds, mainly because they were preemies. However, they are gaining weight & length as they should. And they are a lot more active and attentive. They all stay awake longer after feedings and they are getting strong! Each of the boys has quite a grip! All can hold their neck upright and they like to smile a lot. Unfortunately, they smile a lot more during the day than at night. So by the time daddy gets home sometimes there is a prison riot going on.
There have been a few minor problems that the docs continue to monitor. Alex and Logan both have heart murmurs and holes in their hearts. From what I’ve read and heard other parents discuss, this condition is pretty common, especially in newborns, and goes away as the heart continues to develop. The docs don’t really think it’s very serious, but are running some sonos & x-rays to make sure it’s not something that will get worse. And Nick’s right hip pops a lot. It doesn’t seem to hurt him at all, but we are getting sonos to make sure that something bad isn’t happening. We hosted Thanksgiving at the Bennington Casa this year. No turkey for the boys this year, except for the one that mom brought. What’s that human doing attached to its butt??

And of course, Thanksgiving offered some prime time for photo ops...

The final bit of news is that we have hired a nanny to take care of the boys after Tiffany goes back to work in early January. We’re very excited about having Dawn on board. And while I’m sure Tiffany will miss the boys, she’s also looking forward to a bit of adult contact.
