Mommy and Mikaela

Topsail Beach 2009

Mikaela taking a bath. She really enjoys the water. She makes big splashes and puts her toys "in" the cup and takes the back "out". She is growing up so quickly, and I have not done a good job at posting the new stuff. I will take pictures at the beach when we go for the 4th and try to get them up soon afterward.

She signs "more" some and makes the funniest faces and sounds. She is running everywhere and never seems to run out of energy. She is starting to roll and throw a ball, so we are on our way.....

She is coming into her own personality - and I would like to add an apology to Daddy - if I whined like that when I was young and did not get my way, I am sorry. I don't like it when she whines. But she doesn't do it often.

She is just too cute when she is asleep with her little bottom in the air....

Child dedication

We dedicated Mikaela to the church on Mother's Day.

Mikaela's first steps

Mikaela started to really work on walking by herself this past week. She has also been waving "hello" and "good-bye" and clapping. Most of these things happen spontaneously.
