Sleep has never been so sweet

Last night I slept for almost eight hours straight, thanks to the help I mentioned last week. It was great!

This morning, James rolled from his tummy to his back for the first time! The first time on purpose, at least, he did flail around enough to flip himself once early on, but this was much more deliberate, pushing up with one arm until he got onto his side, then over onto his back (not sure exactly how he did that, I'd looked up to tell Russ to come see). He is also smiling a lot now, making cute noises, and almost giggling.

Last week's formula change (to Enfamil Nutramigen) seems to be helping Kathryn's tummy troubles quite a bit. She's eating better, sleeping better, and has been much happier the past couple of days. During her tummy time, she has been concentrating on trying to scoot herself along with her feet, and does a surprising job of it sometimes. She's also gotten her legs up underneath her with her butt in the air a couple of times.

They both had their last pulmonologist appointments on Tuesday to officially discontinue the apnea monitors and to get their first Synagis shots. We will have to go back monthly through the winter this year and next for the shots, but we're hoping that we'll be able to get our pediatrician to do them instead since they're much closer to home. The shots are to help prevent severe RSV infections. RSV is a common virus which most kids have caught by the time they're 2. It usually causes nothing more than mild cold symptoms, but it can be very severe in preemies and babies with lung problems.

Of course, they were weighed and measured while they were there. Kathryn was 20 1/2 inches long and 9 lbs. 10 oz., and James was 10 lbs. 6 oz. and 21 3/4 inches!

It's hard to believe they'll be three months old in another week...
