Sick Baby

Please pray that Micah will get over this nasty cold.

Full night!

Micah slept for 8 hours last night!!!! From 8:20-4:20....that's a record!

Beautiful Spring

We went down to Little Cottonwood Canyon in Utah to go rock climbing...it was 75 degrees and lovely! Micah just loooooved being outside! He was a good boy all day; even in the car.

Feet are fun!

Springtime is here (I think)!

Rebekah came to town so we used her photographic talents to take a few outdoor photos since Micah hasn't really been outside much:) We had a lot of fun. It was really nice to finally be able to take him outside for a few minutes without getting blown away!

Real Food!

Micah had cereal for the first time tonight! I was so worried that he would just spit it out or just be really mad at me and cry! But, he was sooo excited and ate every last bite! He thought it was pretty amusing and kept laughing while taking bites in between! I wish I had a picture to show you but instead we videotaped him. You can tell it's my first time at this because silly me didn't put a bib on him so it was all over his shirt! Every now and then he would bat at my hand which led to the runny cereal falling off of the spoon right onto Micah!

My Baby Boy!

My Baby Boy
he brings so much joy.
Chubby cheeks and chin
and a really great grin.
All of God's grace
in his cute little face.
Even tho' I pray
little he won't stay.
Please don't grow so fast
let these cherished moments last.
Cars, balls, and boats
soon he'll make them float.
Outgrowing all his toys
My Cherished Baby Boy!

I didn't know we had a dog!

March has been such a crazy busy month already between work, Micah, and getting ready to find a new job. Will got accepted into the Ph.D. program at Yale so we are headed back to Connecticut in August. I would love to work in the school again so that I can have the summers off with Micah as well as go home for the summer. We'll see what the future in the next few months holds! I really can't believe January and February are already gone...but the bright side of this is that we will soon have more daylight! And, it will be getting warmer so I can take Micah outside more often. He loves being outside. I took him for a walk in his stroller a couple weeks ago and he just loved staring at everything around him. He has changed so much over the past couple weeks; he babbles some new sounds, rolls back and forth, eats everything in sight, and finally discovered that we do have a dog! He never paid much attention to Annie but once we put him in the Bumbo chair on the floor he started giggling and batting at her nose. Oh, and he learned how to drive!...just kidding. We were taking a break on our drive back from Denver.  He does pretty good in the carseat but since he can roll now I think he tends to get a little frustrated strapped down so he did fuss a little...but no matter how much he fusses he just can't resist the temptation to fall asleep in a moving car! Will and I are just so excited every day to see what each day with Micah brings. He brings such joy to all around him. His smiles are so contagious and he is just so kissable! Goodbye for now!
