Twins are 6 months old

                                             In April the babies turned 6 months old. Still by far they are my smallest babies.  But look at their little cheeks, they are starting to fill out.  And, Maci doesn't have the preemie look anymore.  They both smile all the time and are starting up with their jibber jabber.  I love it.  By now we were hoping their delays would be caught up but that is not the case.  The torticollis has added its own set of delays.  Maci can roll over but Beckett only does because of the torticollis  That isn't necessarily good.  Neither are close to sitting up or pushing up on their hands and knees or scooting.  Things they are great at...they laugh and smile like crazy.  They really do have the best, fun personalities.  They both have interest in reaching for and grabbing toys.  They love their big brothers and sister.  They are eating solids now and are starting to get the hand of it.  Beckett is such a boy and will eat anything and everything.  Maci on the other hand is taking her sweet time and is picky.  Their posture is getting much better.  Thanks to Christian, the phyical therapy pro.  Their torticollis is improving.  Their heads are still flat and they are still just under the spectrum of needing the helmets.  We will just have to wait and see on those.  We have more exercises to add to the list now that we have been doing it for a couple of months.  We are working on getting them to use both hands and rolling over to the right and the left.  There is really quite an art to it.

Their stats
Beckett:  weight 13.12  0 %  length  25.75 20 %  head 8 %   
Maci:  weight 12.87 3%  length 24.75 13% head 10%

Maci has caught up to Beckett and has 2 teeth.

How fun to have a brother/sister twin set! They are adorable. And they look so much like your other kids. Crazy!

What an adventure you've had, bringing your babies into the world and watching them grow. Raising five kids including two infants who require lots of physical therapy--you guys are superparents!
