No longer preemies and weight updates

I have to admit, these aren't going to be the best pics to show how much they've grown but they may give you an idea. So our sweet Austin has been out of preemie clothes for about a month now and is quickly working his way out of most newborn clothes now too! It is so crazy to me to watch them all grow so fast; but especially Austin. He is just an awesome grower! We recently saw our Dr. who we all love and got our new weights and Austin is up to 10 lbs. 10 oz! Can you believe it? In one month, he gained 3 pounds! Keep going buddy! We love you so much!



Jaxon finally made it out of his preemie clothes this last week! It was so funny - all of a sudden one day he just couldn't fit into his clothes anymore. We were so excited for him. And... we were even more shocked at the doctor when the scale read 8 lbs. 5 oz! He gained 2.5 pounds in a month and is catching up so quickly. He has always had such cute cheeks but now they are getting even bigger and cuter! Keep growing sweetie - you'll catch up to Austin soon :)







Here's the comparison of the boy's preemie clothes to a newborn one. It is so sad to think how fast time is going by and soon they'll all be out of their newborn clothes too! I keep taking pictures hoping to capture every change.

And our adorable Rio... she is so incredibly sweet! She has the sweetest look. They are all tracking really well and she will just stare at your face hoping you'll talk to her. They are do that but Rio just seems to do that more often and is much more curious about talking. They are all starting to make noises to have you look at them if they don't have your attention - so funny! We think we maybe had Rio and Jaxon smile back at us once but that still may be a little early for that but they are doing so sweet "sleep smiles" and we can't wait for them to smile back all the time.
Anyway, Rio weighed 8 lbs 8 oz. She gained a little over 2 pounds this last month. Jax almost has her beat now! It will be interesting to see what they end up at and if our little Rio is actually the smallest of them.
We are having so much fun with them. They are just now starting to be more and more alert and staying awake for longer periods during the day. It's hard for me to go by this "adjusted age" thing and not expect that they should be doing 2 1/2 month old things because in reality they are just about 4 weeks "adjusted age". By age 2, we won't have to do that anymore and I'm glad for that. Anyway, they are all healthy and darling and so fun!
We love you guys so much and we're so grateful to be your mommy and daddy! Love you!

  3. Those are really cool pictures! I wish I would have taken picture comparisons like that! Cute idea! I really got so tired of that "adjusted age" thing! One day they will just catch up and you will wonder, how did that happen so quickly! Mine are 2! Yay for the not worry about "adjusted" anymore! Most adorable babies ever!!
