This time last year I was just 13 weeks pregnant - it is crazy how quickly the time goes!

| Mackenzie at 13 weeks |
It is hard to believe these little peanuts are already 8 months old! Just a few weeks ago Birth-3 came to re-evaluate the group and see how everyone is progressing. This visit was much different than their initial eval (which was at 3m corrected age). This time we blew their socks off!!!
I think we've earned some bragging rights!
Since they were preemies the doctors and specialists all follow their corrected age (which is 2m behind) when checking for size, development, etc. I have never been a fan of the corrected age - I know they'll be small but I want them to be as close as possible to their real age for everything else.
Birth-3 was evaluating at the 6m age & looking for rolling in both directions, turning towards sounds, putting objects to mouth, transferring toys from hand to hand, recognizes name and plays with feet. The kids far surpassed these goals! Everyone is successful in their own areas - Owen is best at sitting without support, Lucas can roll anywhere & Mackenzie is crawling and across the board they are closer to their real than adjusted age! WHEW, sigh of relief!
Here are the 7-8m developmental milestones & who is meeting them:
*Lunges forward - Owen, Lucas, Mackenzie
*Jabbers or combines syllables - Lucas
*Drags objects towards self - Owen, Lucas, Mackenzie
*Sit without support - Owen, Mackenzie
*Starts to experience stranger anxiety - Owen
*Crawls - Mackenzie
*Bangs objects together - Mackenzie
Coming Soon:
*Says "mama" & "dada"
*Stands while holding onto something
*Waves hello/goodbye
*Claps
I am SO happy with their continued progress! I will admit, though, it is sad how quickly they are changing!!! I was not prepared for crawling or teeth (everyone has 2 bottom teeth) this soon!!! I miss my teeny tiny snugglers (hello baby fever!)
