All good news!

So we went to the developmental clinic on Friday and we got all good news!!! We saw Dr. Kelly- who we love!! She was the first neonatologist that we met at virtua and actually delivered Jack & Ellie. It is so nice to see her and the kids love her too! (I like to think they know she helped bring them into this world!) Mike and I credit her with saving Jack's life!! He was the sickest baby in the NICU on 10-10-10 and now he is just a regular kid! Sounds funny even saying that!!

Anyway developmentally they are on, if not ahead of where they should be! Can you believe it??? Ahead??? What go-getters! They are very skinny kids- Ellie in 10% for weight and Jack in the 25%! But they are very tall!!! Both are in the 90% for height!!! Now this is based on 18 months - but still!!!

So we go back one final time in January! We do have the NICU reunion in September - we are really looking forward to that!

After the clinic we went to Sesame Place- what a blast!!! I posted some pictures below!! We were fortunate to have our own personal tour guide- since Katie goes about 1x per week we were in the know for everything! Looking forward to going back very soon!!

The next day we took them to the zoo! It was a hot one- but they loved it! We saw lots of animals and they both touched the goat at the petting zoo! Looking forward to hopefully going back this Sunday!

Jack is home today with me since he has a virus! Hoping he gets better very soon and Ellie does not catch it!!!
