Hey Ken (STRANGER!)

It's good to hear from you again....we've been posting you requesting

for an update on your repositioning effort with the twins. Could you

please update us on any progress.....we hope it's going well & their

heads are rounding.

Alrighty..well their heads have kind of stayed more or less the same

shape for the last month. Neither has any sign of tort as they both

turn from side to side with ease. They still spend at least 6 hours

a day in supervised tummy time...and both can roll over with ease

now. We haven't had much luck with the positioning since they became

so mobile. Still their eyes are level and their ears are pretty much

aligned..it's just the heads that are a little off roundness. Since

Zack got his doorway jumper his neck strength has really improved (as

he strains to look at the TV).

We have our second appointment with the cranio facial plastic surgeon

next week, where we can compare numbers to the measurements from last

month. If the asymmetry is less than 9mm and they've shown signs of

improvement, we probably won't go ahead with the helmets.

Even if the tummy time did nothing for their heads, they are both so

strong and mobile, I think it's a good idea for babies with perfect

spheres for noggins.

Here they are last week (sharing Zoey's new fairy chair):

Thanks for the update Ken:

They are both sooooo cute! The one in the yellow looks so much like

one of my niece's it's scary! Adorable!

Sounds like they're really growing up & getting around a bit now.

That's great neither show any signs of tort & are so strong holding

their heads up now. I have no doubt all that tummy time helped a ton!

Their heads both looked good to me in their picture. Good luck at

the specialist appt next week. Please let us know how it goes.

Hi Ken, its good to hear from you again! Zack and Zoey are

absolutely adorable, and I think their heads look great!!! You've

done a great job, and should be very proud of yourslef as well as

your little duo there! Please be sure to let us know how the

appointment goes next week. I would really be shocked if they needed

a helmet, they look terrific to me!

Ken,

Great report! You are so good about sticking with and pushing the tummy time.

If ever has a sibling (unlikely) I will surely do a whole lot more of

that! I think it does make for stronger babies with better motor skills

(rolling, crawling, etc). I'm glad to hear of the improvement and hope all

goes well with the specialist next week.

They are beautiful children - I love the picture!
