Two Months

Micah turned two months old September 2nd.  I am quite slow in getting this blog posted, which seems pretty typical since Micah is a second child.  :)  

Micah is quite the handful, but he's doing well and getting a little easier every day. He has his fussiest moments at night, but thankfully we have more good nights now than rough ones. 

At his appointment he weighed 9 pounds 6 ounces (5th %) and he was 23 inches (47th %).  It seems we have another boy that will be fairly tall and skinny. The doctor was a little concerned about Micah's weight gain before his two month appointment, but thankfully he gained enough that his worrying subsided. We are still trying to supplement with a nightly bottle, but Micah isn't that interested in bottles.  Jonathan didn't like bottles either. I guess my boys just prefer their Mama. I am extremely grateful that I get to be home full-time for many reasons, but especially since Micah won't take a bottle easily.  

He is starting to smile more and more and he has the cutest little grin. When I look at Micah everyday I still can't believe he is mine and that I have been blessed with two children. God is good!  

Jonathan doesn't like to be left out.

First bath in the bath tub.

Don't I have a serious face?

Touchdown.

Our good friends Sara and Jason came over one night for dinner.  Their daughter Emma is a few weeks older then Micah.

Jonathan loves hanging out with Sara and talks about baby Emma all the time.  

Tummy time.

Brothers!  This picture is a little misleading since most of the time that Micah is on the floor Jonathan is trying to be right on top of him.

Aunt Sara came to stay with us for a long weekend.  We were thrilled to have her with us, and she was a big help.  Sara knows all about little boys and Jonathan had a great time playing with her.  

We love you Aunt Sara!

Micah is One Month

Micah turned one month on August 2nd.  He weighed 7 pounds 14 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long.  Micah keeps us very busy and is such a joy.  

Andy's parents came to see us and to help us for about a week and a half.  It was so nice of them to stay for so long. They are having a very busy summer, too. In May, Andy's Dad retired from his job as a high school principal, after working in public education for 40 years. In another week they will begin moving to a new home in Arkansas.

Micah took lots of naps on Mimi Sue.....

Jonathan loved having Mimi Sue and PawPaw here to play with him.

We had a good time on our outing to Young's Dairy.

Micah's first trip to church.

My sisters Natalie and Melissa came to visit for a long weekend.  They were a big help and I was so happy for the company.

Playing at the park.

Jonathan loves kissing his little brother.  

My 33rd Birthday (it's quite a challenge to get both boys still--and happy--at the same time!)

More pictures

About a week and a half after Micah was born, we took some family pictures  . . . . to go along with the ones we got of newborn Jonathan with the same photographer.

Check them out while they're available online. We'll get a few to keep.

Micah's First Couple Weeks

We are thrilled that Micah is here can't believe that we have two beautiful boys. We are getting to know each other more and more everyday and have enjoyed all of the company that has come to see us.  

Here are a few (well actually quite a lot) of pictures of our first couple of weeks.

Arriving home with Micah from the hospital.  

Grandma fixed her traditional roast meal for us the night we got home from the hospital. It is my favorite meal in the whole world, and it was as delicious as ever! It was a labor of love and we really appreciated it.

Me and my boys.  :)

Micah's first trip out of the house (besides going to the doctor) was to run a couple of errands and to eat lunch at Wendy's. He slept the entire time and did great.

Though we're usually not big on cheesy t-shirts, this one captures Jonathan's current personality too well.  He's always up to something these days.

Micah's first bath.  Of course he screamed the entire time.  

Our good friends Sara and Jason came over to visit with their new little one Emma. We think it would be fun someday to put this picture in a slide show at their rehearsal dinner.  :)

We bought a brand new burley bike trailer/jogger for the boys and Andy and Jonathan have been having a lot of fun in it.

Streetttccchhhh.

Brothers.
