We received a call from Seattle Children's a couple days ago with the results of Hazel's labs that were drawn recently and everything is normal. Praise God!
Other great news regarding Hazel: yesterday she did so well in physical therapy that she graduated to every other week! Last week she was only pulling to stand on the couch (without the cushions). This week she's pulling up on EVERYTHING, dropping things and bending down to pick them up, cruising the whole length of the couch and around the ottoman, bear crawling (legs straight and butt up in the air) occasionally, getting out of standing without assistance, and more. Go Hazel! We're so proud of everything she's accomplished in 1 week! I'm constantly wondering if all parents are looking so intently for these milestones to be reached or if it's a "preemie parent" thing. Our PT thinks Hazel's on track to walk around 10 months adjusted age, which would be December. Whoa!
Jude will continue physical therapy on a weekly basis until he's a little farther along. He's not far behind Hazel, but is not at a level where slightly longer, every other week sessions would be a good idea. He continues to whine through PT since it's hard for him, but he's doing really well. He's trying so hard to pull to stand, but only has success on occasion (and when he doesn't, he whines and whines and whines). He'll get there! I'm hoping that in another month he can cut back to every other week as well, but we'll see.

YEAH!
It sounds like Hazel and Isaac are doing many of the same things, and he doesn't have an adjusted age. Babies reach milestones in such different ways, and at all different times. Enjoy the stages, but don't stress over them. :)
