What is Neela up to?


Neela is soooo sweet! She is actually what I thought my child would be like :) Not that I don't love Stevie Joy with all of my heart, but she is a very strong-willed child and for a first time mommy with a passive personality she took me for a loop. However, Neela is so much more laid back and laughs all the time. She is seriously constantly smiling. Every where we go people always guess that she is at least 3 months older than she actually is, due to her size, her hair, and her personality. She "talks" all the time, makes wonderful eye contact and smiles and laughs all the time! Not to brag (as if I haven't already), but she really is an "angel" baby! Stevie was totally a spirited baby! The only bad thing about how good Neela is is that it is going to probably make baby number 3 seem so hard, but I keep hoping that baby #3 will be even easier, especially since the baby will be a boy :) Titus Robert Megow!! We are going to keep it a surprise b/c it was a funner experience having it as a surprise. And no we are not pregnant yet, that may have sounded like we were.
She is rolling all around now and is starting to follow her sissy by rolling to her (so cute). Her hair is really crazy, I think it is going to be curly b/c it is a big poof afro on top of her head. She HAS to have a headband or bow or something when we leave the house :) She is actually a better sleeper than Stevie, which I didn't think was possible. She goes to bed around 8 and wakes up the next day around 8 in the morning. Naps for 2 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening, has already dropped her evening nap to a cat nap and can take it while we are out and about in the evening. I told you she is amazing. It is like she is an 8 month old trapped in a 4 month old body! I really enjoy her so much, she makes me so happy. I could seriously have 8 if they were all as easy as she is. I am so interested to see what kind of toddler she is going to be and child, hopefully she will stay sweet and laid back.
