Gosh! Once again, time has just flown by!
Had a hectic week after the last post, as we got ready to go on holiday, and then we were away last week. It is only the second time we have gone away since Miks was born (and the first proper family holiday where we went somewhere other than family in over a year!!).... and Mikayla just seems to go in leaps and bounds when we're with her. She so enjoys spending time with us- and seems to save something special for us each time.
This time that special thing was that she found her tongue! And man does she love it. She spend 5 days with it hanging out, and TALKING TALKING TALKING with it.. she is so expressive, and responsive with it. Even often sticking it out when I ask her to!! It is SERIOUSLY cute. Everyday I just love her more and more... which, if I am to be honest, really scares me sometimes... because each day of knowing her and loving her more, is one more notch in the potential pain I will feel if I have to let her go! Anyway... I try not to think about it. We live for today. Anything other than that is just not worth dwelling on... counter-intuitive really!
Here's the first video we took of her "finding her tongue"... I thought it was the food... that maybe she didn't like the food... but from that moment on, she just ALWAYS had her tongue out. She often seems to stick it out almost as if to get a reaction from us... to MAKE us laugh! The second clip is of her chatting and laughing (with her tongue aswell)... while Russ was tickling her. It's one of my absolute favourite videos... it is just so HER!
Please keep Mikayla's little friend, Lior in your prayers, who has really been battling with all sorts since having a G-tube inserted. His story can be found here: http://www.pampers.co.za/en_ZA/viewBlog/blogId/15002. This little fella's birthday is soon... and I am praying for his recovery, so he can have a much deserved party :)
I am so glad to hear Miks is doing well.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for all your love and prayers for Lior. he is doing much better now that he has the mic-key peg in, but still a long road ahead.
Ha ha, Lior also seems to have found his tongue - and he can stick it out for hours on end !!!
It's so funny to watch, isn't it?! And it's amazing how every new thing is such a BIG MEMORABLE thing with our little special babies xx
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear about the Mic-Key peg... I hope it makes everything easier, and more comfortable.
