She's 4 weeks old today and she's definitely not that little anymore...Growing like a weed. Speaking of weeds, do we have the catnip at our house! Luella enjoys being outside, but she likes to be with me, not up on the deck out of the wind.:) She gets mad if we leave her in the house by herself for long. Even if she is sleeping hard when we go out, she knows when we leave her inside by herself. Everyone else enjoys being outside too. The forecast for this past week was for rain, but we've been able to get outside everyday. We're in the process of demolishing our yard right now. We're ripping out bushes and the old privacy fence to put in a new fence that will contain the children. We have big plans for flower bed, gardens, and berries. It's amazing what you can do with such a small amount of property.;)
Luella is a "good baby". I'm not sure why everyone asks that, but she is. She cries when she's hungry or poopy and loves to be bounced and sang to by her siblings. It's fun having a little baby again. We all love snuggling with her, especially Mommy. I'm very sleep deprived, but I don't have those awful aches and pains of pregnancy anymore. It's amazing to be able to play on the floor with the kids for a while and be able to get up again.:)
Jeremiah loves being called a big brother. He's a big helper when he wants to be. He always puts the dirty diapers in the garbage for me, but he also almost always takes something else out. He still has a terrible habit of putting everything in his mouth (except healthy new foods) like rocks, dirt, Kleenex, chalk, crayons, play dough... He's a ham and loves to make me laugh. He is also growing like a weed. I just went through his drawers and got the next size of Johnny's old clothes out for him. He's so excited to show me that he's wearing something new, especially the Cars clothes.:)
Lu Lu loves to play pretend. Her new game now is playing "Anna and Elsa" from the movie Frozen. She is Anna and her pretend sister is Elsa. I think she'll like it when Ella is big enough to play with her. She loves to color and make pictures for everyone.
Johnny is growing up too fast. He's been learning is letters and numbers and is definitely ready to start school in the fall. He and Lu have really stepped up to help me since Ella was born. John is very helpful with Jeremiah. Since we don't have that fence up yet, John does a lot of chasing after Jerry for me to keep him corralled in the yard. He loves playing ball sports. He tends to get into trouble if I don't keep him busy with something - planned games, activities, or just chores to help me out. He loves helping me.
Alright, I better get some pictures posted, so I can get something else done today...
Ella's baptism is on May 17th at 5:30 mass. All friends and family are invited. I'm not sending out invites, so consider yourself invited:).
Okay, better get back to getting something done:)
