New Jammies

After his bath, I put him in his new pajamas that I bought at Belks last weekend. He is so adorable in them! He was still munching on "Turtle Toes" when I took this shot.

Playin' with sand

Tonight we had Zack over for dinner and I made spaghetti and salad and homemade bread. Then, Brent, Zack, and Daniel left to go to a poker night, leaving me to hang out with my favorite "wee man." I went to the library today after my dentist appointment and got another "Young at Art" box. This one was called "Play with Sand." It came with measuring cups, a plastic tablecloth, and blue and pink sand (that is non-toxic of course!). We had so much fun! Micah enjoyed the texture of the sand on his toes while we listened to jazz music. Of course we made a huge mess and he went straight into the bath tub. After that, we sang and danced to some music and then I put him in bed. Oh, how I love that boy! I now know what it feels like to have your heart beating outside of your body and I thank God every day for him!!!!

Look at these toes!!!!

Museum without Walls

When I was at the library, I noticed they had advertising for a "Young at Art" program for babies up to 12 months. There are 15 kits that families can check out with things to play with and music to sing along to. So much fun! I guess Micah was the first to check out a kit because there were 15 boxes to choose from. This week was "Play with Balls." We have been talking about different textures and colors. With the smaller ball, I rolled it to him and he was rolling it back to me and laughing!

I left the room for a minute and heard a cry of frustration. This is what I saw! Micah-you need to learn how to crawl!

Perfect Sunday weather

This Sunday, the weather was so mild and warm. Micah and I had been inside a lot this week because of the chilly temps so it was nice to get some fresh air. I desperately needed to clean my flower beds and Brent needed to rake leaves, so we put Micah on a quilt with some toys. After all our hard work, we brought ice cream over to the neighbors, who had also been doing yard work. What a nice way to end the weekend!

At Hobby Lobby, I bought Micah a tub of cookie cutters which he has been enjoying. I can't wait to make sandwiches in dinosaur shapes!

O Christmas Tree

This is Micah's first Christmas tree! We took pictures of him sitting by it, and he kept looking up at the pretty lights and ornaments. Family traditions have so much more meaning with a child to share it with!

One weekend, our neighbors came over and invited Micah to be part of their train. So we started a "baby train" around the block. How fun!!!

Evan was excited to have another buddy!

Visit with Great-Grandpa

This weekend we went to McAlester and it was a rewarding trip, but exhausting! Micah has been fussy this week and of course traveling never helps with that. On Saturday we went to see Brent's Grandpa. Four generations of men!

Micah laughing at his mommy! He was such a good boy during that visit-especially considering how long he went without a nap!

Micah laughing for his Daddy!

Visit with Aubry

Micah is ready to play the piano!

My student Aubry gave Micah a Cowboy hat that she had when she was younger. He will grow into I am sure!

Visit to OKC

Last Friday I took Micah to OKC to see my friend Rachael and her baby Noah, who is 9 weeks older than Micah. We had so much fun! Micah did really great and both babies even napped at the same time for two whole hours! After their naps and we had fed them, we walked them in their strollers to Walgreens through the Moore "wilderness." It was fun to go up and down the aisles without needing to buy anything. We bought Cokes and nail polish. On the way home however, Micah fell apart (he was done with being in a car seat!) but finally fell asleep exhausted. Poor baby!

The babies playing on their individual blankets~

I love hanging out with my baby!

We went to the park twice this weekend and brought strawberry limeades from Sonic. What a wonderful weekend!

Hanging out in the sling

I have finally figured out the best way to put Micah in my Peanut Shell sling that he likes! Today we went to the library and he just smiled and cooed when before he had been fussy in his car seat. I guess he just enjoys being close to Mommy and getting to see all the action! Since he gets fussy in the evenings when I try to teach I am going to teach with him in the sling as well!

Micah's Three Month Photo Shoot

Yesterday Micah had his three month photo shoot! He was such a good baby through the entire process and only fell apart at the very end. Heidi, my neighbor, took these and did a marvelous job! Her business is called Frog Prints Photography! How cute!

Curious George

Curious George Makes Pancakes

It is hard for me to pass up a new book when I see it at Wal-Mart. Micah seems to be enjoying our reading time! I hope that he will enjoy reading when he gets older!

Party at Uncle Dan's House

Today, I went to a party with Mommy and Daddy at Uncle Dan and Auntie Jo's house. Aunt Rachel and Aunt Keli were also there. I had a great time chillin' and getting to watch TV and everybody playing with the guitar.

Daddy is awesome!

Uncle Dan is cool!

I like playing with Aunt Rachel.

Here is my first set of keys!

Aunt Keli hadn't seen me since I was born! I have practically doubled in size since then!

Thank you Uncle Dan for inviting me!
