Things have been good here in Florida. The temperatures have dropped again and so we've had to bundle up on the many outings the kids and I have been making in the mornings. Thank goodness Mikayla is so laid back for the most part and she's good with going with Noah and I wherever we might be off to.
Noah has been a great big brother lately. He constantly checks on Mikayla for me and even has figured out how to give Mikayla her binky sometimes (as long as Mama is keeping half an eye on things) and rocks her when she's in her chair. While he sometimes doesn't realize how tiny she is and the need to be gentle I suppose that's 100 times better than him despising her and me having to worry about them being alone in the same room for any period of time.
Other than the cold we've had some brush fires very very close to the house in the past few days (Noah learned the word helicopter when one of the choppers for an Orlando news station hovered directly over the house for 15 minutes the other day). Apparently there is some so not nice people in Palm Bay that are going around deliberately setting the fires in the area with over fifty being set since the beginning of November. Hopefully they continue to stay small and under control. I know none of us want to repeat May 2008...
Mikayla is doing fabulously, She is much more alert and awake for extended periods of time (5-6 hours sometimes other than little 10 minute cat naps). She will smile at us occasionally and started blowing raspberries at me in the bath tub the other night. Her favorite thing to do is snuggle and when I get the chance I enjoy that more than anything else :)
Alright, Noah and Daddy are practicing jumping and running around the house and I am going to take advantage of my 15 minutes of only having to rock the baby's chair with my foot while I check my email and whatnot before the fifth load of laundry for the day really requires my attention ;-) Hopefully more soon!
