Misc updates including Maddie's first tooth!

Just to bring everyone up to speed as I'm a little behind:

We've enrolled Ellie in preschool for next fall! I think she'll do great and she really misses the social interaction that she used to get from daycare. She'll go Tuesday and Thursday mornings starting in September. Soccer went a little better yesterday, no tears this time, anyway! And, Ellie got to play outside today, which hasn't happened enough this winter. She was treated to a yummy cup of hot cocoa when she came in.

Aidan- now has 5! teeth, 3 on top and 2 on the bottom. Just about to start to crawl! I'm really in trouble then.

Maddie- her first tooth finally popped through on the bottom! I don't have a photo of it yet. She's not quite rolling over yet and doesn't seem to be in too big of a hurry. She's just a very mellow, happy baby.

Zoe- had a follow up eye appt last week and seems to be doing well though her left eye wanders a bit and the eyelid is a little droopy. We'll bring her back in July for a full eye exam to make sure there's no problems by then. She gets her crani0-cap in 2 weeks, which she'll have to wear for 22 hours a day for about 3 months to help reshape her skull. I can't wait! Her poor head is really flat in back and definitely asymmetrical, so I'm looking forward to the the cap doing its magic. She's continuing to do PT for her head/neck and we're seeing a neurologist this week as she has benign external hydrocephalus and there may be an issue with the myelin (sp?) in her brain. We'll see what the neurologist has to say, it sounds like it may just be something to watch.

The babies had their first outing this weekend since fall; we took them to Old Country Buffet with my family for my sister's birthday. It was quite a production getting everyone out of the house. They all did great though were pretty tuckered out by the end of the day. Aidan went to bed at 5 p.m. and slept until 7 a.m.! Yes, I did wake him up to feed him, though he wouldn't have starved - that's for sure. Here's a couple of new photos from this weekend (note Maddie and Aidan holding hands):
