And the little mouse said, "Roll over...Roll over..."




Greetings.
Another week in the books and Elsa and Jonas are doing really great. Both kids have enjoyed the reprieve from the heat. Both have set personal records for daily volumes of milk over the past week as well.

We already wrote about the developmental check-up last week, but it has been really great to see how that appointment became a real catalyst for their rolling and movement. With the encouraging gentle push or rocking, Elsa and Jonas both now roll over and prop themselves up on their forearms. They mimic crawling motions but haven't yet taken off. We count this as a mixed blessing. While we want them to crawl, we haven't fully crawl-proofed the house:) Such a good problem to have!

Without further ado...some pictures and videos...(Jonas and Elsa--guess who is hamming it up for the pictures; double recliners; the world's largest stroller; Jonas and Mortimer the Moose; and finally Elsa looking around)

God Bless,

Mari & Dan & Elsa & Jonas
