Mikaela's last check up

Mikaela's last check up went well. Dr. Kubicki was pleased with her weight gain and the negative test results. We are continuing with the medicine for now. She is starting to coo more and smile at different people. She can hold up her head briefly. She enjoys her tummy time, working on arm and leg muscles. God help us when she becomes mobile, because it seems she is ready to go.

Labor Day



The Beddingfield's had some friends over for Labor Day. Several people got to hold Mikaela but Katie Baker was the lucky one when I snapped these shots.

Noah and Nathan at Bass Mountain

Mikaela's first time at Bass Mountain









I feel like I spent a good portion of my childhood at Bass Mountain at the bluegrass festivals. This past weekend, Mikaela had her first experience at a bluegrass festival. At 5 weeks old, I think she did really well. I personally did not hold her very much. She was a very popular girl. Pop Pop took her to meet everyone in the "bluegrass family". He was just a little proud of his new granddaughter!
Noah is great with his new cousin. He enjoys holding her and learning what she can do and can't do. He is very attentive.
Nathan is busy busy busy all the time. Always on the move. When Mikaela gets older and can move too, he may be a bit more interested.
