Micah is 9 Months

I am embarrassed to admit that I drafted this post a month ago but never got it finished.  Oops.

Micah continues to be our smiley and happy little guy. He weighs 19 pounds 2 ounces (30%) and is 28 1/4 inches long (50%).  He seems bigger to me but he is right at the size his brother was at this age.  He now has 8 teeth (4 top and 4 bottom).  He is rolling all over the floor and can pretty much get where he wants to go.  He thinks his brother is hilarious and he is often seen watching him in the car as we drive around town.  Micah is still not really excited about baby food, but since the doctor says he is gaining weight just fine, we aren't too worried.  Here are our favorites from this month:

As Jonathan likes to say: "two brothers."

Bundled up for an outing to the park.  Spring wasn't coming fast enough but we were getting out anyway.  

This was Micah's first time in the Burley.  He seemed to like it pretty well.  Hopefully we will have a lot of fun with both boys in this during the summer.  

Bedtime.

Easter Sunday.

Easter baskets.

Stay tuned for a 10 month post soon!

"Spring" Break

Our original spring break (last week of February) plan was to drive to Arkansas and back to visit Andy's parents.  Due to a winter storm, we ended up traveling south and that allowed us to add an impromptu trip to Hallsville, TX to see Natalie and her family. This meant that we drove through nine different states by the time we returned to Ohio!

We gave Natalie and Scott only three hours' notice that we were coming, so we were thrilled that they were able to have us. We had a wonderful weekend with them and loved seeing their beautiful new home.  

Playing football in the front yard. 

Luke had basketball and soccer games while we were there.

Trains. Jonathan was fascinated for hours by this.  

Isn't Anna beautiful, and doesn't she look all grown up?

Baseball in the back yard.

Dogpile!!

After the weekend we headed to Bella Vista, AR. We had a few days with just Mimi and Pawpaw before Sara, Adam and Jack joined us.  

Jonathan had been talking about playing golf with Pawpaw since Donny was in Dayton back in January.  He loved it even though it was FREEZING outside.

Jack and Adam brought Jonathan part of their Thomas the Train set to take home with us.  It was definitely one of the highlights of the trip for Jonathan.  He still plays with it everyday.

More golf.

Micah is 8 Months

Micah is 8 months old. He weighs about 18 and a half pounds. As you will see below, he is the smiley-est baby!  He is super happy these days and loves sitting up. He loves watching his brother and he enjoyed his first swimming trip last month. He is starting to lean forward more and more, but, honestly, I am in no rush to encourage crawling.  :)

Brother bath. This can be quite a crazy time, but the boys like bathing together.
