This past week Jack has not been feeling well. We happened to be at Children's for a High Risk follow-up Tuesday, so he was looked over. He is healthy, so it seems his teeth are bothering him now. The poor guy has just been so unhappy, but with some Tylenol and sleep he seems to be feeling better. He has been sleeping A LOT, so possibly growing as well. Meanwhile, Maggie has been enjoying a lot of one-on-one time with Mommy. While at High Risk the doctor's noticed that the kids' growth has slowed down, so they've been increased to 26 calorie formula. Additionally, Jack's height isn't matching with his weight, so he is getting whey protein with his formula to hopefully stimulate his height growth. Watch out world, Jack might be a body builder soon!

The munchkins are no longer my little babies, but independent and spirited kids. It seems they learn something new everyday and although they are twins, they've certainly developed their own unique personalities.
