Goodnight

The bottles have been washed and prepped for tomorrow. The dishes are running. Micah has been fed, bathed, and read to. Ahhhhh. Now it's time to blog.

My blogs are becoming inconsistent and spaced out. I guess it's b/c we are so busy. There's not too much to report on.

Micah had pears for the first time last night and he devoured them down just like everything else we've tried. So far he hasn't met a food he doesn't like...but everyone says wait til he tries green beans. I'll keep you posted on how that goes. Maybe we'll give him green goop next.

Micah is starting to try sitting up on his own. He's not that great at it, but as long as he's leaning more forward than backwards, he's good to go. Once his head lifts up though, he's laying on the ground. We're working on it. I'll try to get a video up in the next few days to show you his progress.

Well, he's screaming in the other room. I'm trying to let him cry it out, but it's been 15 min and he's still wailing....goodnight!

Micah's 1st Trip to Illinois--Snap shots

And a little video clip from today...

There really are excuses...

This is a video of me smothering him with kisses to get him to giggle.



I have an excuse for neglecting the blog. Well, a couple actually. First, Tom went to Houston last week for 3 days. Then, the night he got back I took him out to dinner for his birthday and then before we knew it, we were on a plane to St. Louis to visit Tom's family and friends for a long weekend in Illinois. The week flew by and I don't even know where the time went.


Micah has started a new food. This week he is devouring sweet potatoes and loving every bite. He's also developed quite the drooling habit. It's so bad that we keep a bib on him most of the time so we don't have to change his shirt so often. Micah has also figured out how to turn the pages of the book during story time at night. His hands work so hard to get those pages turned and then his eyes get really big when he sees the new pictures on the next page. It's so exciting to watch him and how he moves things now.

I'll post more pictures from the trip in the days to come.

Short and Sweet

Since Tom is in Houston again for the next 3 days, I'm gonna keep this short b/c I'm trying to take advantage of the time Micah is sleeping.

Micah started applesause today. He seemed to like it. He did clench his jaw a few times, but I think he'll come around to it after a few tries. At least he didn't make a sour face when he tasted it.

Bed Time

Lunch time

I went by to visit little man on my lunch break and he was sleeping. Take a look.

Dear Nana and Granddaddy,

Thank you so much for coming to spend Christmas and New Year's with me. I had so much fun getting to spend time with you and nap in your arms. I really enjoyed skipping school to stay home with you. Mom really appreciates all you did around the house while she was at work too. Thank you for everything and I can't wait to see you again!

Love,
Micah
