In the world of NICU babies and preemies turning 2 is a big deal! When preemies turn two they are considered "caught up" on the developmental charts. No more adjusted ages for meeting goals or anything.
Our girls have been caught up since about the 6 mth mark, but it's still fun to know we made it to the 2 year mark. In my head it feels like a "graduation" of sorts! Woo hoo!
The girls are such a blessing. They are a hoot. We almost have all our teeth - just working a couple more to come all the way in, we are getting along more frequently, and starting to really talk up a storm. It's so much fun. Jaycie answers "yup" when you ask her a question. It's so funny. Jemma loves to grab your hand and say "come on" while she drags you someplace.
They are still sharing a room, but Jaycie has moved to a toddler bed. She's doing surprisingly well in it and even more surprising - Jemma doesn't seem to mind. I thought Jemma would be ticked that she wasn't in a toddler bed. :)
They are completely in love with their big sissy. I'm so thankful for that! We pray consistently that they will all be friends. That's really a frequently repeated phrase around here "she's your sister, she's your best friend."
I'm actually rather weepy as I write this tonight. What an incredible journey the Lord has taken us on with these girls.
The day they were born - quick snapped pics before they got hooked up to all the machines
They first night home together from the NICU - still on monitors
Turning 1!
Almost 2!
Thank you Lord for these sweet girls!
