The past few weeks there have been so many things blooming and growing around our house! We have these shrubs in the back yard, I wish I could remember their names, but they struggle all summer long and they did pretty well over the winter…but now they are like solid flowers! They are so beautiful! And our rose bushes are doing better than they ever have before. Our little Arizona Ash tree is greening up like crazy too. I might have to trim it a little it’s getting so top heavy.
And of course, our little Michaela is growing like a weed too! She’s six and a half weeks now. She’s not sleeping through the night but she’s getting close. Once in a while we have a night where she goes from about 9 or 10 until 5 am. But usually she’s up once sometime around 2 or 3 am and again around 5 or 6. She’s really filling out and I think she looks completely different than when she was a newborn.
She is getting pretty good at holding her head up already, and her legs are really strong. I think she sometimes rolls herself onto her side by accident but not consistently yet. And she started smiling a week or two ago. It’s kind of a mouth wide open kind of smile, but its cute. We usually have to work at it to get her to do it, except for her big sister Lissie, she can usually do it really easy! And speaking of Felicity, she still loves being a big sister and recently got to give her sister a bottle for the first time. She was very excited, but being a 2.5 year old, she lost interest after about a minute and Dad had to finish up!
