Mikaela Anne

here is my littlest or at least my youngest monkey!!!! ah, so sweet is the slumber, or maybe just those in slumber! here is my tiny little Miki at just weeks old! remember this Auntie A? i remember those days as not much sleep and lots of feedings! never a break for those who offered their wonderful help either! when they told me to wake them up during the night to burp or change a diaper, i did! thanks to you all!! i could not have kept my sanity without your help!

had to add these pigtails too! and the ever tasty fingers! Miki has them at the ready for when she's tired. good thing they're attached; she can't loose them! this is my chatty little monkey. she's always repeating words we say. she loves horsies and kitties and always says '' 'tank you" after you've helped her get her shoes on... she's very polite and sweet these days. but she also knows the word 'NO' and uses it often! and she sings! all the time! just mention the words 'kite', 'row row' or 'rosie' and off she goes- not too off-key either!

here Miki is wearing JennaMae's brand new birthday tiara and playing with the wand! the look on her face was somewhere between a shy, proud smile and almost an unsure frown: 'can i have this? is it ok or will it be snatched away?' this was while big sis was still opening her presents, so...i smiled at her and she melted into a very pleased and satisfied smile. 'whew! i got away with it!' they know and understand the rules of ownership in these parts!

Miki is my girlie girl; she loves getting all dressed up and wearing her big sis's shoes, boots, and dresses, as well as her big bro's shoes! She saw one of her Sunday dresses the other day and started saying 'dess dess, Momma, dess' and shoving it into my hands demanded that i put it on her! this one will be the piano master one day! she already loves to 'play' it; she's very gentle, unlike her co-monkeys! she is mostly happy- just not when her blue bear is in the washer! Yay!!! the washer's done!!!
