We are 4 months old!!!

The girls had their 4 month check up today. Everything went really well. Ava is 12# 8 oz and is in the 25%. Finally they made it onto the growth chart. Her exam was good. We have an appointment with CHOP on Thursday to see a neurosurgeon. Ava has hydrocephalus - fluid on the ventricles of her brain. The pediatrician doesn't see that it is slowing her development but we need to follow up on it. Olivia is also 12# 8oz, same percentile. Her exam was really good. Lila is 12#5 oz. Not far behind her sisters. We do have to take Lila to see a pediatric orthopedic specialist. Her right foot turns in a little too much. Dr. Riviera just wants to make sure that we get it taken care of as soon as possible. Her appt is next Monday. Other than that she got a passing grade also. All of their reflexes were good and eyes looked good. The Dr said that they are reaching their milestones for their actual age, not adjusted age (which is two months - actual age minus weeks premature).
We knew going into this that there might be issues related to a multiple pregnancy ( Lila's position in the womb may have contributed to her foot) and prematurity (Ava's fluid is most likely due to it). But we will do what ever we need to in order to make sure these issues don't become major problems. Besides these two appointments, the girls have an appt with a develpmental specialist. I am still undecided about this one though. It is set up through the hospital and i am not sure that they need it. The pediatrician is comfortable with their development so far.
On a lighter note - we have started feeding them cereal at night. They each get one tablespoon. Olivia would eat 5 if you let her. Lila depends on her mood that day and Ava dosen't quite get it yet. Mostly she just spits it out!! Olivia is getting very vocal. Ava is all smiles and Lila loves music. We have "hired" the girls cousin Katie to help one or two days a week. It is great to have someone here late in the day to keep the girls occupied while I fix dinner!! They sit pretty good in their Bumbo seats as evidenced by the picture above!!
