Rolls....

It's hard to imagine a 7 lb baby having rolls but Miss Myla is starting to get some little rolls on her legs and Rex has had them for a while! It is pretty cute to see both of them filling out. Quinton never had a single roll on his legs so this is new territory for me when changing their diapers.

Rex and Myla continue to blow our minds and doctors minds with their amazing progress and they act a lot more like two month olds as opposed to new borns (which according to their due date they would be only two weeks old). I think that Rex has smiled at me and Myla is looks like she is getting close. I will do my best to capture these smiles on my camera! They continue to have more awake time and are both getting so strong. Myla holds her head up a little better, but then again, she has quite a bit less to hold up!

They continue to grow on Quinton and he has become quite polite and will tell us "down down" meaning, put the babies down and come play with me. I mean at least he is asking! Both Rex and Myla strongly prefer the sides of their heads (if you have not noticed). We are told that
NICU babies tend to favor the sides of their heads but we are working on getting them to look straight. But if you ask me, they still are pretty perfect!

Quinton continues to amaze us. All his dreams came true when a friend of ours let him touch/play his guitar at church. He talked about it the rest of the day with a twinkle in his eye! Quinn is quite the social butterfly and turns into a peacock any time other kids are around, he fluffs his feathers and struts around. He really enjoys all his friends and seems to play well, sharing is not quite a concept that he has fully grasped yet but we are working on it. I have a feeling that sharing have to be practiced a lot around our house in the future with all three of our babies so close in age!
Quinton is enjoying Rex and Myla's Christmas present from Nana and Papa. We asked for a wagon for the twins and Santa delivered it early. Much to Quinn's delight, the twins are not quite ready for a ride yet so he is breaking it in for them!
He is practicing pulling it for next spring when he will get to pull Rex and Myla around in it!

He discovered that he can hide things in the fancy new wagon.
Rex and Myla's face are slowly becoming bigger than the pacifiers. When they were in the NICU they would take up their whole face. On a side note... I think these are the ugliest pacifiers ever!

Quinton has taken a liking of Red leaves so he was delighted to find all of these on a walk one day!
Here is an example of one of his "Boards". He even will pretend to push himself with one foot! Crazy how kids pick up on things so quickly!
Quinton and I enjoyed a beautiful day at the Park the other day while Dan stayed home with Rex and Myla. He did a lot of playing but once these trucks went into action the playing was over and the drooling began. He cried when we left but was thrilled to tell his dad about the trucks and the diggers that we saw!
We continue to learn what "normal" looks like around the Rude house. Busy, busy, busy, but we sure are blessed!
