first steps in napa for christmas!!

turnbow-time!

josh surprised me this week by having our friend amy come over to take some awesome family photos for us. here's a little preview of them, and i've posted a ton on flickr for family and friends to order if they'd like :)

thanks amers! you're the best! :) :) :)

beanie boy... literally

here we are getting ready to go down to the americana outdoor mall for the big christmas tree lighting. unfortunately it was so overcrowded that the fire marshall wasn't allowing anymore people to enter. :( thankfully amy was here to take some cute pics of the beanie boy so we didn't get all dressed up for nothing!

bob's big boy for halloween

micah was bob's big boy for his very first halloween this year. if you look really close you can see we even mimicked the hair curl with a little gel and hairspray :)

a new development today!!!

little stander tried to take a step today! :)
(please excuse my high pitched annoying excited mommy voice)

on the hairpane

this little man loooooves flying on an airplane. we had a great time playing with the tray tables, looking out the window, and eating puffs. and our fellow passengers even complimented us on such good behavior the entire duration of the flight. :)

trip to napa sans daddy

recently we've been spending a lot of time up north visiting family. josh was away on a job for 2 1/2 weeks, so micah and i took an extended trip to napa. it was a great time.

all the grandkids...avery, colby, great grampa and micah

the boys out at the club

micah and his papa at work

hanging out in the lobby at church... 8 1/2 month babies are a little disruptive in service :)


and you can guess what this face is i'm sure...

dance party

today we had a little dance party in the office while mommy was working. :)

THIS IS MY POOP FACE!

pushin out a present for mommy!! :)

dogsitting and chonie head

we were dogsitting for friends this weekend. gus, the long-haired weiner dog, was a blast to have around. micah loved him, and gus loved micah. we had to try to keep gus away from micah's mouth, cause he's a licky little sucker.
daddy decided to be weird and put his (clean) chonies on micah's head and have a photo-op.
video of the new pals playing together coming soon :)


playing with daddy's underwear on my head is so much fun!!

first time brushing the teef!

here's some pictures of micah's first time brushing teeth. he LOOOVES his tooth brush. he could just chew on it all day. i think it feels good on his gums. he's got two bottom teeth and one top tooth currently. the other top tooth looks like it might break through any day now :)

party at the park

hanging out at the park for our friend joel's 30th birthday party. micah especially enjoyed the party favors.... eating them :)

uncle jonny comes to visit

uncle jonny came to visit our new house a few weeks ago. we tried to get micah's safari hat on, but his block head is just too big! :)

we spent the afternoon walking around the americana, hanging out at barnes and noble, and eating lunch at panera bread.

special treat

i recorded micah standing up by his mirrored closet doors in the old house a few days before we moved. he'll definitely miss this, he played there everyday :(

a little more talking...

on all fours!

another new development...



he's starting to get into this position on his own from his tummy, but this day i had set him down on the ground like this. but he fully holds himself up!

i have some video of it, but i need to plug my camera in to download... coming soon :)

new sleeping position

every once in awhile we'll check on the little guy and he will be passed out like this. completely comfortable, completely content. it baffles me.

sorry for the delay in posts!

we've had a busy month!! we packed up our old house and moved to a new one, which we LOVE! it was my birthday last week, and mimi and papa came to visit to help unpack and organize. so i'm sorry the posts have been seriously lacking.

here's a cute little update. i took micah to staples to pick up some packing tape during the moving process. i set my wallet in the side of his carseat, and 2 minutes later found him like this:

he had been eating the receipts that stick out of the flap in my wallet. silly boy!! :)
