Greetings.
Another week of doctors' appointments for Jonas and Elsa. We met with the dietitian this week for our monthly check-up on the twins' weight gain. Jonas was right on track but Elsa is a little behind where we would like to see her. She is a skinny-mini:) Over the past month, Elsa had a couple of incidents of throwing up. We initially thought this was due to the introduction of solid foods but as we talked it out with the dietitian we also realized that we had been weening her milk thickener at the same time. After letting out a Homer Simpson "Doh!", we realized that we had been playing with two variables instead of focusing on one at a time. In that past four days, she has actually had a little more success with solid foods and we are ever so hopeful that we will make some good progress in the month ahead with putting some weight on her. Elsa also has her first tooth popping up--big month for Elsa!
Both kids are having a lot of fun. It is such a joy to see them play with toys, with us, and with each other. They both love to laugh! What a great thing to see! We knew they were going to be joyful even when they were really tiny---and now it is great to see, hear, feel their joy each day! Yahoo!
We are so excited that Thanksgiving is nearly here and Christmas is right around the corner.
