Wow! Michaela has had a very busy couple of weeks!! She has learned so much lately and even has a few new “friends.” About 2 weeks ago, Randy and I bought some new bikes and a bike trailer for the girls. Felicity won’t be in it for too much longer since she will be getting something of her own for her birthday in a few weeks (but of course she doesn’t know that yet). Felicity loves riding in it and Michaela does pretty well in it too. Most of the time she falls asleep, but when she isn’t napping she just sits there and takes everything in. It is really cute to see them both sitting there in the trailer! In this picture Michaela wasn’t that happy, in fact she was a little grumpy at that moment!
She has also been learning to do things very quickly now-a-days. She has learned to hold her bottle . . . sort of. She can hold it, but still has a hard time holding it up right enough to get anything out. It is still pretty cute though!! She is certainly trying!
But a bigger accomplishment is that she is sitting up all by herself. One day she could do it with my Bobby behind, then a few days later she was doing it with only me sitting behind her to catch her if she fell and then a few days after that she was doing it all by herself. She is definitely not at that point where we can leave her there all by herself. Now she is really trying to catch herself if she is falling. A lot of the time she will start leaning to one side or the front or back and she will catch herself and straighten up, but if she starts leaning to fast or just flat out falls, she can’t right herself and mommy or daddy has to grab her.
And who are her new friends you ask? Well, one is Allison and the other is Bailey. Nope they are not little girls, they are her first two teeth!!!! Her first tooth came in and Randy named it Allison (he also named Felicity’s first 4 teeth). Then just 2 days later her second tooth came and that one is named Bailey. It seems too early for her to have teeth since she is only 5 months old, especially when you compare it to big sister who didn’t get her first tooth until she was 9 months old!!! Maybe this means Michaela with have more than Felicity before she is 2 years old!!
