Alea is back to her normal self. She is running around, covered in dirt and mud, playing with the kids, learning the language very quickly, and getting into mischief. She was sick the last two weeks with a very strange virus that really kept her down for almost 2 weeks. (The joy of LIVING at a health center- sickness is everywhere!)
Emry is almost 3 months. She is growing like crazy. Unlike Alea who was wearing 0-3 month clothes until she was almost 7 months, Emry is already fitting 3-6 month clothes and will soon be out of them. She is a great baby though. Always content unless she is alone or hungry. Every morning she wakes up with a very, very large stretch, blinks her eyes slowly, and then grins from ear to ear, as if to say, “Hello world, I am glad to be here.”
As for the relationship between the two girls, it is better than I ever imagined could exist among siblings. Alea adores Emry, always looking at her and saying, “I love my baby sister.” And Emry just smiles at Alea with this look that says, “I want to be like you.” In fact, I think Emry would love to follow her around already. She is trying hard to roll over. She is almost there. So much for the immobile days- no more putting her on things she could roll off. At this rate, she will be waddling after Alea in no time.
