Today is my first day taking care of the kiddos by myself as Ricky returned to work. There have been a few tears from me brought about by a wild toddler, but we're all alive ;)
Aolani is saying a few more words, which I do not remember what they are. Her new thing, though, is to strip and run around naked! Not fun for me (but cute still). She is a GREAT big sister! She loves baby Micaiah -- tries to pick him up, holds him, kisses him, pats him, and is gentle and kind towards him... She always wants to play with the baby. What a gift from God this is!
Micaiah is healthy, gaining weight (almost nine pounds), happy, cries little, spews milk from his nose, lost his umbilical cord on day 15, is filling out in the face (awww -- so adorable), and is still sorting out when to sleep and when to be awake.
Birth story will hopefully come in the next week or so...
Verse to memorize this week: Revelation 12:11~ They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
