Evaluation Follow Up

We had our follow-up meeting with TN Early Intervention yesterday to review the boys' evaluations from a few weeks ago. I had to have the lady explain this to me several times because I couldn't believe it, but Max and Tyler both tested within normal range for all developmental skills (such as communication, gross motor, fine motor, adaptive) for their REAL age - not adjusted age. I was shocked! In other words, if they would have been born full term in February instead of 14 weeks early, there would still be no cause for concern in any areas of development. She said they probably would have tested further ahead if they had been born on time, but they are not outside the normal limits for 6-7 months old. Needless to say we were very excited and so proud of these little guys! Our case manager with TN Early Intervention is still going to come to our house twice a month to check on the boys and give us tools to help their continual development, which is great.

Here are some pictures from the past few days!

We put the boys on their backs on their activity mat, but they decided they'd rather watch the motorcycle race at the Speedway instead.

Let's see how many fingers they can stick in their mouths at the same time.

We finally pulled out the high chair! These are Space Saver High Chairs, which means they just attach to our kitchen chairs and don't take up a ton of space. We have two but haven't whipped both out quite yet... Here's Max waiting for some grub.
