William and Aaron are rolling all over now, and are able to sit (when placed in that position) for as long as they desire. William does a great job getting up on all fours and rocking back and forth ...then he rolls over. Crawling is definitely forthcoming, whenever he figures it out. Aaron scoots and rolls at will to objects all over the floor, and covers a good distance. It's now a race as to who will crawl first! They are both babbling and making good sounds. We've always been able to tell their cries apart from each other, and can do the same with their babbling. Aaron's is a little higher pitched with more "oohs," "aahs," and "gggs." He's just starting to do more of the "bas" that William has been practicing. William also has some "das" in there. They're both very vocal with us, which is a good thing :)
William has an appointment with the Children's Hospital in a few weeks, and then we have the neurologist in June. I'm enjoying the lessened appointments, and the increase in freedom. We took the boys out of "quarantine" this month, and have been able to take them to a few small functions and out to dinner. We are still going to be cautious - no events with smoking, for example (for those that know me, if you thought I hated smoke before...I have even more reason to stay away from it now) but overall we are looking forward to having a social life again!
Friday was also the first birthday of our NICU friend, Harper. She was born at 24 weeks and has overcome many of the same obstacles as the boys, plus some. She's been our preemie inspiration since the beginning, and we are so happy to see her growing so beautifully!
