We are growing!!!!

I promise to post pictures/videos and updates when I have a second to breathe. But until then we have an announcement...we are growing....!!!! I know most kids grow, but as you know growing and developing is literally a miracle in the Johnson house given our little bumps in the road lately. We are so thrilled I could shout it from the roof tops!! We have never had numbers this high.
Tbone is of course in the 100th percentile for head circumference, no surprise there, but jumped to the 32% for weight and 45% for height!!!!!!!
Zekey is 39% for head, 13% for height and 5% for weight!!! Yes those numbers are still tiny, but last month weight was 0%!!!
We are so excited for our little men to be catching up. The doctor also referred Taft to an occupational therapist for his low tone situation. Yes we already see a physical therapist for his muscular disorder but the low tone has caused his tongue to be hanging out all the time. He looks adorable and thinks it is so funny, but long term he needs to hold his chin up and keep that sucker in his mouth. therefore, we will now add an additional therapist to the other 2. The boys doctor is waiting until 18 months to send them onto a speech therapist as well. Since they heard Amharic for the first 8 months of their life and then had hearing issues with before and after tubes we knew there might be a speech delay, but she is holding off until 18 months to see progress. Plus, really what can a speech therapist do with a kiddo that small, and I agree!
More to come....
