Doctor's appointment

Well - the babies had their doctor's appointment yesterday. Here are the stats....

Nicky is 24 inches tall and 11 pounds 13 1/2 ounces. He is doing fine except he has developed torticollis on his left side - so we have to do some physical therapy with him at home - just some stretching excercises of his neck. His head is a little flatter on the side he favors - we started doing the excercises yesterday - he absolutely HATES them. Right now I have him sleeping on his stomach and I turn his head about every 20 minutes - within 3 minutes he turns his head back the way he is comfortable - but at least he is getting some excercise.

Jenny is 23 inches tall and weighs 9 pounds 14 ounces. Jenny is only in the 3rd to 5th percentile on weight - I am not worried - Joey is 4 and still only in the 10th to 15th - better thin than fat!

Some cool news - NICKY LAUGHED AT ME TODAY!!! It was so cool - especially because he is always so serious! To see him laugh is freakin awesome. I got some video of him sort of smiling - I will try to post in a bit.

Both had to get two vaccines (don't ask me what they were). Nicky woke up this morning with a fever and Jenny had a small one early this afternoon - Tylenol did the trick and they are fine now - except Jenny is and has been cranky all day!

Joey made me a key chain at school for Mother's Day - he couldn't wait until Sunday to give it to me - he told me "Mommy, open it now so you have more time with it!" He is getting so big, it is scary!

So that is the scoop - I will try to post some pics and video in a little bit if I can get them uploaded.

Talk to everyone soon.
