OK I am on the middle to tail end of nap time and hope to get this done before
Mikayla awakes. The homecoming of the boys went pretty well as I got all the bear hugs and sloppy kisses I have been waiting for.
Mikayla watched closely in the comfort of Daddy's arms. Once
home and both the boys and
Mikayla watched each other and claimed there spots
that's when the fun began. Stopping the
stampede to
Mikayla and the rescuing and picking up of
Mikayla as the boys continually tried loving on her and running her over was exhausting.
Mikayla even today has not really wanted to touch the boys at all but she is brave enough to get on the floor while they are around now until they come running to cover her with sloppy kisses that she still is not to fond of. I am sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the boys do not give up once they start. Hey who can blame them she is so cute plus both boys have just turned 1 year old so they still are in the smother you with slop every chance they get. I think
Mikayla is taking a liking to Gus a bit more as he is the mellower one of the two and does not totally over due the kisses and does listen better when told to stop. They love when she eats even if nothing drops it is still heaven getting to get
that quick lick of a finger or even sometimes a face every now and again which while in her seat,
Mikayla does not mind to much. They are all definitely getting used to each other. Even in the beginning of nap time
Mikayla fell asleep with her head on Louie and he did not mind or wake her. When the lawn guys came Louie slowly and carefully got up from the couch without waking her, just to go look outside. Yesterday,
Mikayla had a blast when Kelly came over. They played together in the basement crashing cars into each other.
Mikayla belly laughed none stop. It was definitely a break for me even though I was there every minute taking pics. I still was able to relieve myself of entertaining for a little while. She even gave Kelly a hug good bye when it was bed time.

ayla is doing awesome meeting new faces every day. She is doing well in the bonding area, when we started she would go to just anyone and now she is doing better and not doing so
as much. When she does go to others she does not stay with anyone very long, she turns and searches out mommy or daddy which is great. She is sleeping through the nights as well as her naps although the naps are sometimes not as long as they should be. She is slowly getting off the bottle and formula
eating more baby and adult foods and getting bottles mostly at bedtime and sometimes at nap time wake ups. This is another milestone we are happy to see. We will continue to give her the bottle and formula at least until we run out of what we have but probably will not buy any more formula making that the final switch over time. We have gotten her on DEERS so medical is covered at the base and varies
Peds with a co-pay. Next will be the SS# and doctor appointments. Today I have to take Louie to the doc as he looks like he has an infected sore on his foot. Hopefully it is nothing to be to concerned about, as it really
don't seem to bother him to much. I think it bothers mommy more than him but I guess that is how it usually works with all kids. If anyone is waiting on us for an okay to visit you are all welcome to come by when you can. All we ask is that you call first to make sure we are here and that it is not nap time or bed time, etc. I hope to see you all soon and hope my next posting will be to the new blog. I will let you know as soon as I get there, maybe bedtime or
nap time tonight or tomorrow.... keep watching.
