Pounds

Here we are again at a stage of stability and waiting, a stage we are thankful for. Both babies are feeling much better and tolerating their feedings well. Will has finally graduated to a third bottle each day, and Susannah is getting better at hers. Since they are eating so well, they are putting on weight. In fact, (drum roll please) Will now weighs 5 pounds, 9 ounces, and Susannah weighs FOUR pounds, one ounce!

Right now, we are waiting on both of them to finish their rounds of antibiotics to be sure we took care of the infection and for them to eat without the assistance of a tube for all their feedings. William finishes his antibiotics on the 18th, and Susannah the following Monday.

Big Brother Charlie turns two on Monday, and we've seen him make some huge strides of his own in the last couple of weeks. For those of you that don't know, Charlie had a stroke sometime around his birth. He's had a weakness on his left side that we've been working on with multiple therapists, and we're fortunate that there doesn't seem to be any cognitive damage. Because of his weakness, he didn't crawl until May of this year, and he doesn't stand on his own or walk yet. However, this past week, he has started pulling up to standing, and has gotten very fast at it! Here he is yesterday after he pulled up to the couch and cruised his way over to me:

His bed head makes our day every day!!!

More soon, and thank you again for all the love, prayers, and thoughts sent our way.
