Premature Twin Girls

I have premature twin girls. They were born 12 weeks prematurely. They are now 14 months old. The youngest is crawling and sitting un-aided. The older one is barely rolling she can't support her head very well and it always leans to one side.

Everytime I put her on the floor to try and encorage her she will start crying. And if I sit her up in between my legs to help her sit up she will cry untill I pick her up and put her over my sholder. She is much smaller than her sister now. She was only 4 oz smaller than her at birth.

I am concerned at her development as she is over a year now and I can't see her catching up anytime soon. I was wondering if you can suggest any learning techniques, toys or other tips that you could recomend to help. Is her development is a cause for concern?
