I'm at home while everyone else is at church and Jacob is sleeping. John's mom and sister are so much help in taking care of Annika and making sure that she has an audience and attention. They take Jacob when he needs extra cuddling and I have to do something other than nurse. They do the things that I would do so that I can nap. They make yummy food AND do the dishes! They make very good company!
Enough rhapsodizing about them.
Annika knows her body parts and likes to show us on her, on us, on Jacob, etc. We taught her "bum" because its a body part and we figured this was a pretty innocuous word for that. Now, when she's showing us the body parts by pointing and naming them, she turns bum towards us and points and says, "bum!" And, if she can reach, she points to ours and says, "bum!" I'm just waiting for her to do it to someone not quite as close to the family and laughing my head off. Or, my bum off.

Little Ms A sounds very entertaining. Eliza B. posted some pictures from her visit. Your little girl has grown since we saw her last!
I just read through all your February posts. Sounds a lot like the normal roller coaster ride of new-motherhood. I'm glad it sound like things have been improving. I sure love you, and I can't wait to see you in just a few days!
Glad you're feeling better and that you have some help. Wish I lived closer so I could bring you a meal or two and play with your cute kids!!
I'm glad she loves the boots, but I'm sorry she sometimes becomes a terror with them.
