Harvick & Jarrett . 20 Weeks

20 weeks old
17 pounds, 3 ounces (Harvick)
17 pounds, 6 ounces (Jarrett)

(Compare to Ryder at 20 Weeks)

I remember talking with Patrick about how funny Ryder was when he would play with his tongue, or suck on his bottom lip.  It's funny to me now that Harvick does the tongue thing, while Jarrett does the same lip thing!  This week it was hard to find pictures where Harvick isn't sticking his tongue out!

Both Harvick and Jarrett continue to be good-tempered babies most of the time.  However, when they do get upset, Ryder is getting really good at "helping" his brothers - he will give them their pacifiers, and will even stand/sit in front of them, shaking a toy or rattle.  Typically, Harvick and Jarrett are calmed easily with a little attention - and, Ryder does a great job!

Jarrett has nearly mastered putting his pacifier in his own mouth, but sometimes forgets, and just sucks on the ribbon.  Harvick also is able to put his pacifier in his mouth, but doesn't do it as often as Jarrett (he also doesn't use it as much, in general).

Harvick has a flat spot on the bottom left (when looking from the back) of his head that was caused by his position in utero, and his brother on top of him.  We took him to a specialist at PCMC earlier this week, and it was determined our little guy will be required to wear a helmet to correct the issue.  Fortunately, we have caught it early, and he will hopefully not have to wear the helmet too long.  The hardest part now is getting insurance to cover part of the cost.  As we progress, updates will follow.
