The boys were born June 12, more than three months early, and are expected to stay in Tacoma at least until their original due date of September 28.

“They’re making a little bit of progress,” Jacobson said this morning.

Kameron Kent Jacobson was born just one-pound eight ounces but now is up to two pounds-six ounces, he said.

Jackson Andrew Jacobson started at one-pound seven ounces and last night was two pounds-three ounces.

Friends are planning a benefit for the parents, Jacobson and Ashley Estep, at the elementary school in Winlock on Saturday July 30.

The event from 3 p.m. until 8 p.m. is expected to include dinner, an auction and bluegrass music.
