These past three months have been spent getting to know sweet little Aurora and our entire family is smitten! Shiloh, being such a first born, has taken on protecting her and letting me know what she needs. She also treats Aurora as a real baby doll and frequently asks me to help dress Aurora up in a tiara, hat or even costume.
McKenzie and McKinley also view Aurora as a baby doll. They love calling themselves "Big Sister," and feeling like big girls. Most of the time they continue to play and do their own things, but they'll stop and try to include Aurora occasionally, which then will bring protector Shiloh in the mix. It's adorable. :)
I'm trying to record her milestones on the blog so here goes:
Aurora:
6 weeks: At 6 weeks Aurora began smiling frequently at us and often in response to attention! We have all loved getting that happy, gummy smile from her.
3 months:
Our little Aurora is VERY easy going. She rarely fusses and is very generous with her smiles. She has started to giggle, coo and "talk" to us, which is so much fun. She is also rolling from her front to her back and trying to go the other way but just can't quite do that yet.
McKenzie (2 years and 11 months old):
- tries to turn anything that she can into a silly moment (especially if she gets in trouble)
- outgoing and bubbly
- somewhat talkative, but more interested in playing
- increasing fine motor skills; likes squirting with a water bottle, painting, writing (no letters or tracing yet), scissors
- has started attempting to color in the lines
- loves to dance with sisters (especially to "Let it Go" from Frozen
- has shown us that she's quite sensitive and gets her feelings hurt easily
- fully potty trained (only uses a pull up at night)
McKinley (2 years and 11 months old)
- is a little more reserved
- very talkative lately, loves telling stories
- has shown us that she has a very strong will :)
- increasing fine motor skills; likes squirting with a water bottle, painting, writing (no letters or tracing yet), scissors
- can color in the lines if she wants to
- loves to dance with sisters (especially to "Let it Go" from Frozen)
- fully potty trained (only uses a pull up at night)
Shiloh (4 years and 10 months old):
- has taken a gymnastics camp and learned how to do a backbend, cartwheel, and different types of summersaults
- loves to sing to frozen
