5 weeks old

I forgot to mention that Micah is 5 weeks old today!

Wii

Above is a video of Micah right before we took him for an evening walk.

Last Friday, a package arrived at our door containing a Wii (that's the latest Nintendo, Mom and Dad and who ever else who's reading this that doesn't keep up with video game technology). We searched high and low for the system and Tom finally found one online through ToysRUs. Entertainment. I not only can keep Micah calm and in my arms, but I can play Zelda while doing this. It's great. I haven't exactly mastered feeding him or changing diapers while playing, but he sleeps great in my arms and lap while I play. I've been playing Zelda, a storybook type game that you have to use problem solving and hand-eye coordination to play, like it's crack. I admit it. I'm addicted. I told myself that tomorrow I'm not going to touch that game. On the other hand, the Wii Fit came in today (the main reason we bought the Wii). The Wii Fit is an interactive excercise video game. It comes with a balance board that you stand on to play the games. Only, I can't play this one and hold Micah at the same time. I do hope I can play it enough to lose the rest of this baby weight though. So, that's been my life for the past few days...

Denver Zoo

Ok, so I'm not sure how this blog will look b/c somehow I've changed the settings to show pictures and video in HTML rather than actual pictures while I'm putting this together. Bare with me.

Yesterday Tom (aka Ranger Rick in the pictures) and I took Micah to the zoo. Tom's company held a family social event there, and we figured it would be a great time to get out of the house for a few hours.

In other news, the crazy lady across the street who would always stare out her front window into our house moved out Friday night. Since last night, I have watched at least 4 male college age guys move in. I guess since I've been watching out my front window at them...that makes me the crazy lady now. I just really hope the one with the hoopty car doesn't always keep it parked in front of our house.

Free to move

I can't believe it, but Micah slept for 4 1/2 hours last night and probably would have gone longer, but I needed to feed him. That means Tom only had to wake up once to change a diaper which put him in a good mood today from getting some extra, uninterrupted sleep.

Wednesdays are my favorite day of the week b/c I get to watch all of the shows that I recorded from Tuesday night. So, Micah and I will be couch potatoes tomorrow! I'm excited.

Tom finished the bench and shelf. See below. The shelf isn't hung yet. He wants the foyer painted before he hangs it.

If only I could tie that pacifier around his ears so he wouldn't spit it out, I would save myself alot of bending over...

Micah and I managed to make a trip to Target today all on our own. I must have timed it just right b/c he slept the entire time.

Not too much to report on. He's gotten pretty big lately. He's grown out of all of the newborn clothes and has moved into the 0-3 month things along with moving up to size one diapers. Everyone is right when they say the grow up fast. It's true.
