Greetings!
Somewhere along the way this past week, we forgot to mention that we hit another milestone. November 1st was the seven month (adjusted age) milestone for Jonas and Elsa. We like to celebrate actual age and adjusted age--the more celebrations the better I say. We have been asked when do you stop counting adjusted age. Most of the doctors, nurses, dietitians, etc et al. that we see say that the adjusted age is used through the third birthday. At that point, it is not referenced as much because the catch-up weight gain and growth is no longer monitored. I think we will continue to celebrate adjusted age birthday and actual birthday well past age three...again, how can more cake be bad?
Jonas and Elsa were a lot of fun this week. As they become more mobile, it has been fun to see how quickly they can move from point a, b, c, d, back to a, back to d, and then onward to point e.
As the cold season hits we are trying to be very safe and sane. Both kids will be getting a variety of shots in the upcoming weeks to help stave off the various flu-bugs that are out there. They also will receive a "super-duper" (this is not a medical term--although it probably sounds like it...i just made it up) shot once a month that is specifically targeted for premature babies that may be more susceptible to respiratory viruses and other bugs. On the home-front, we continue to wash hands religiously, shower up after coming home from work, and take all the precautions we can.
Thanks for continuing to check out the updates on Jonas and Elsa!

God Bless,
Dan & Elsa & Jonas & Mari
