Bastings Buzz Picture

Bastings Buzz Picture

5 months old




Mikayla is growing up so fast!! She is starting to enjoy her morning bowl of baby cereal. It still gets all over her face but more of it is now making its way into her belly.


She has the sweetest smile and loves to smile at everyone who smiles at her. She isn't much for cooing but loves to scream and squeal. She can get pretty loud and quickly Austin decides he wan't to join in on the fun.


She has discovered how to use her hands to reach and grab toys and of course puts them in her mouth which quickly becomes a slobbery mess.
And recently she has discovered a new view of the world (Mickey has too--thanks to Austin) and enjoys it much better than laying on the ground. Another couple weeks and she will probably be sitting up all by herself. She usually takes about 3 short naps during the day and sleeps mostly through the night. She does wake up about 3 a.m. some nights but is easy to get her back to sleep. She is finally sleeping in her own room in the crib. And now I sleep better because I don't hear her trying to wake herself up by kicking her legs up and down.
For some odd reason she likes to pull her blanket up and over her face which she somehow strangely enjoys. All you see is her kicking legs but lift up the blanket and she is smiling. Such a silly girl. She has even put herself to sleep using this technique (yep--she is sleeping under that blanket).








And when there isn't a blanket around a sunday dress will still do the trick.










It just makes me laugh.


She also loves her older brother and enjoys his hugs, kisses, and any soft attention he gives to her. Overall she is such a sweet and happy girl and so easy to love!!!

This must be a Bastings thing. Caty was the same way, and it would always worry me. Then, I grew used to it. Now, Nathan is the same way. He always pulls the blanket up over his face to go to sleep. He loves sleeping this way.

She is very adorable and I look forward to when we get to see you guys again.
