This week has been really exciting as Mikael started with solid foods this week!!! And he loves it!!! :) On Monday we gave him rice cereal for the first time and he loved it!!!!
This week has also had its hard times as Mikael has been really upset about something. He has also had rosy cheeks most of the week. Nursing is still hard but… on Thursday night we did notice a little something hiding under his bottom gum, might be a tooth!!! :) We do pray that he will be feeling better soon!!
His eyes have also been really bad this week, so we went to a specialized eye clinic on Tuesday to see what they thought. We gave in an analysis and we will get the results in about a week. The doctor says that Mikael’s eye ducts are clogged up, so they will either clear up with the help of the medication that he prescribed, or they will have to do a small procedure. Oh how we pray that his eye will clear up!!
On Sunday we went to church with Mikael and he was so fun!!! During worship he “sang” along by yelling at the top of his lungs praises to God!!! :) “From the lips of children and infants You have ordained praise” Psalm 8:2 Then after worship he was as quiet as a mouse :) He is such a joy!!!
Next week Arkadiy’s mom will be coming to visit!! Yipppeee!! It will be wonderful to have her here, and Mikael is going to love spending time with his “babushka” (grandma in Russian)
This week:
*Potty training is going ok, Mikael has not made the connection yet, but he is not crying about the potty anymore. He actually loves sitting on his little “throne”.
* Mikael is not just taking/grabbing his toys anymore he is now really studying them- feeling and exploring them with his fingers.
*We noticed that Mikael started studying his hands!!! It is so much fun to see him twirl his hands and fingers while he studies them super carefully… does he know they are his?
*Mikael has a favourite book- well quiet a few, but one of them is “Mr. Brown can moo can you?”. And in the book, there is a “loud” page where Mr. Brown goes BOOM, BOOM, BOOM. Well, every time mamma reads that page, Mikael starts “drumming” the book/mamma’s hands, the bed copying the “boom” sound. And when mamma says “boom, boom” Mikael drums anything close to him! :) He is so much fun!!!!
*BIG NEWS- On Wednesday Mikael turned over from his tummy to his back!!! Yippeeee!!! No he is rolling over back and forth with no problem… and is enjoying the movement TONS!!! :)
*Mikael has definitely found the volume “button” in his voice. He has been making a very joyful loud “noise” this week :)
It is so great to see him becoming more interactive :)
One last thing… we finish this weeks update with a small story :) Mikael has been biting on everything and anything so we decided to give him a dummy (pacifier) this week, well see below as to how he thinks a dummy should be used, enjoy…
