Today is Jonas' due date, new year's eve. He is getting stronger every day and doing such a good job..we are proud parents. :) We took him to the doctor's for a weight check yesterday, and he gained 140 grams (his goal was to gain 30 grams/day and he gained 140 grams in 3 days..an overachiever). He is almost back at his birth weight of 8 pounds, 2 oz. This means that we can continue solely nursing, and not try to force feed him pumped milk from a bottle anymore. He would only eat 1/4 to 1/2 oz over an hour of Bruce trying...Jonas holds the bottle in his mouth and looks at Bruce with this "what am I supposed to do with this" face. Every day he is having more and more awake time, and nursing better. The pediatrician says he looks great.
Elijah's first time holding his baby brother. He didn't really know what to do with him because we're always telling him "be gentle, be careful" so he didn't want to break him. We think he'll get used to him once Jonas is more fun and interactive.

This picture we took today reminded me of Jonas' 3D ultrasound picture from November. So cute when he sleeps. :)
