Hadley and Hailey are 2 months old!!

Hadley and Hailey turned 2 months old on November 4th!! Their due date was October 22nd so they are actually 2 weeks old adjusted.

After speaking to the doctor I learned that she will use their actual age for administering shots and basically all other medical situations, but their adjusted age is used to gauge development. So even though they are 2 months old they are only expected to behave like a 2 week old developmentally. (by the way we love our pediatrician because she has twin girls herself that were born around the same time the girls were and spent about the same amount of time in the NICU so she has tons of first hand experience with what we are going through).

This month Hailey and Hadley are:

- still wearing newborn diapers and clothes

- eating 3-4 oz roughly every 4-5 hours

- they got their first round of shots and for the first time really cried after being stuck (it was weird when they were in the NICU they wouldn't even really cry when they kept putting in their IVs)

- They are growing and developing great according to the pediatrician although they are not on the growth chart ;)

- They are sleeping well (5 hour stretches) for their age in a bassinet next to our bed

- They are both doing well at tummy time and can hold their heads up for a good amount of time. 

- They enjoy sitting with lots of support for short periods of time.

- Hadley has rolled over from belly to back!! Hailey keeps attempting to, but hasn't rolled over just yet.

Hadley - 8lbs 7oz and 22inches long

Hailey - 8lbs 9oz and 22 inches long

Also I shouldn't forget to mention that Dasher turned 3 puppy years old on November 4th as well!! It was a huge day of birthday celebrations. We love our puppy Dasher!
