As you all know, our trio was born 3 months early, so for the first 2 years of their lives we talked in adjusted months rather than real months. Doctor and developmental appointments focused on their adjusted age. It gave them sort of a grace period to reach developmental milestones. In addition, I felt when discussing milestones with friends and acquaintances I had to explain that...yes they are X months in real age but only Y months in adjusted age. It made me feel better when comparing to other children...it helped me feel almost normal. I still have people ask...when did they start talking, walking, etc. Well, we're not adjusting anymore. Does it really matter how we compare to everyone else? We all have a different perspective. We still have a few minor developmental issues for Mack and Sophie and few major ones for Grace but it is all in the perspective. Billie explains this perfectly in her blog about Perspective.

Hi! Nathan's walker is the Otto Bock Nurmi Neo. Apparently it is a new design that just came out this year. The seat is just one of many accessories that you can add. I love it because it is so much lighter than the other one we saw and it came in 2 colours...blue or green.
Haha...yes we will keep dancing! Love just goofing around with the kids. Jack Johnson is a big hit around here right now. We go in phases lol.
