One Month of Rain

Presley 'Rain" is one month old today. She is such a blessing and a really, really good baby. She is sleeping through the night and only fusses when she is hungry. We usually have to put her in her swing to go to sleep for the night (since she tries to fight sleep only during this time); after she wakes up for her 1st night feeding she then returns to her bassinet for the rest of the night. I assume the third child has to be able to withstand a lot since she has to sleep through all the loudness throughout the day caused by her very active older sisters, Alexis and Londyn. I guess that is why Jesus chose Alexis to be born 1st and why she was the only child until she was 4.5 years (she would need peace and quite and all the attention for that extent of time). Presley would be chosen to be born the third child, because she could endure.
Presley 'Rain' Mullin's Milestones:
* Lifts her head and turns it the other direction while on her tummy.
* Follows an object (us) and loves to look at the ceiling fan and the T.V.
* Recognizes "all" of our voices
* Loves is when big sister, Alexis holds her. (she gazes up at Alexis and stares)
* Likes to take a bath.
* Looooves to be held and fusses when we put her down.
* Is more alert and sleeps less than she did when she was a newborn.

"ma" what a treasure!

I've noticed lately that Alexis has been calling me "ma". Although, I've noticed it myself, she has not mentioned anything to me about the new pronunciation of the word "mother" and her choice to call me another version.

I mention this to one of my sisters the other day and she said that she had noticed Alexis was calling me "ma" too. She said she had questioned Alexis about it several weeks ago. Alexis said she got it off Little House on The Prairie. My heart melted as I' have observed her watching Laura Ingalls Wilder and how intently she watches everything this adventurous girl does. Although, she does not watch the show daily, she definitely picked up on the special little things, like a girl calling her mother, "ma".

Smartness

Today, Londyn presented me with a book she wanted me to read to her, "Who's hiding in Noah's Ark." As we began to read, Londyn's task was to identify the animals that were hiding in the book. As I pulled down the tabs to show her the animals, she would immediately shout out what it was correctly. I told her, "you are so smart" (since she was getting them ALL right) she replied, "Uh Huh!" She was so sure of herself in her reply.

Presley's 1st Rain..........Bath

Presley Rain's 1st Bath

Rembering This

Since Presley 'Rain' had her 1st bath recently, I decided to show Londyn the video of her 1st Bath. She loooved it. She now asks me to show her over and over the video clip of when she said, "mama" for the 1st time. As she watches the video, she enjoys telling herself hi as she waves to the baby in the video; I don't think she fully realizes the baby in the video is her.
