behind the scenes

here's some behind the scenes shots taken during our little photoshoot when micah decided to pee all over daddy's shirt twice. you can see how upset he got when he peed the second time around and josh yelled "he's doing it again!!!" poor little guy, he just needed to drain the lizard :)

we've learned that micah sure is good at looking directly at the camera already. what a cute little guy.

photos by amy!

amy came over the other day and we had a fun little photoshoot with micah in the nursery. :) we made the mistake of stripping him down naked to try and get some cute shots of him curled up in a ball. micah decided to pee twice all over daddy and then got pretty upset when josh screamed out of surprise. we won't try that again!

(i've posted the high resolution photos on my flickr account for anyone who wants to order copies)

daddy's little boy

this afternoon we took micah to target to test out the baby bjorn on daddy. he slept the entire time, so i think it's safe to say he doesn't mind it. as soon as we got home, micah and dad were both pretty tuckered, so they took a nap side by side together.

the little bean is one month old!

micah is one month old today! i did a little photoshoot in the nursery with his favorite stuffed animal the elephant. i'll try to take a picture each month with micah next to his friend so everyone can see how much he's growing. we stepped on the scale together on tuesday and micah was over 10 1/2 pounds already, so he's definitely growing fast! i'll weigh him again in a few days to see his progress. :) check out more pictures on my flickr account.

the thinker

today micah and mommy slept in till 11am and then just hung around the house. ate some lunch, watched some TV, pooped in our pants a few times, took a nap in the sunlight on the futon bed in the nursery. i snapped some pictures of micah laying in all the fluffy white blankets on the bed. he looks so contemplative, huh? such a thinker :)

gettin clean

micah had his first official bath the other day. we've been sponge bathing him for the past few weeks, but the doctor checked out his button and gave us the go ahead to fully submerge him in water. mommy's still a little inexperienced, so i didn't fill the tub up quite enough and i think micah was a little bit cold half submerged, so we had to rush through the experience :)

hanging out with the beanster

just watching a little tube with micah asleep on me. my favorite part of the night.




he was a little passed out all night :)

lots of company!

we had a lot of visitors this past weekend. josh vanduyn came up from san diego to stay with us for a few days, grandma & grandpa turnbow came down from napa to visit, and caleb & jonny came for dinner saturday night. all the activity kept micah awake all day, so he slept the best he's ever slept saturday night!

walk to the library

the other day we took micah for a walk to the library. we signed up for library cards & checked out the kid's department. micah was pretty impressed, he slept through the whole thing. :)

funny faces

the karate baby

today micah showed us that he is definitely interested in karate, ninjas and the art of kung fu. he displayed his natural talent by super punching for the camera. next step...throwing knives and ninja stars! :)

first solo family outing!

we went to lunch at oinksters in eagle rock the other day. josh and i both had a hankering for a cheeseburger, and micah was craving a homemade strawberry shake. :)

getting micah ready for a trip out

we got micah all dressed up in his train engine overalls for a family lunch trip the other day. he's formed a bad habit during diaper changing. when we get his fresh diaper prepped beneath his tushie he surprises us with a secondary dose of crappage. so after 2 diaper changes, we finally get him dressed and ready. not 2 minutes later we go to pick him up and what do you know, he's peed already and it's leaked out the top of the diaper and soaked his overalls. thankfully we'd already snapped a few pictures of him, so here they are. our little train engine conductor :)

does the play mat pass the play test?

last night josh gave the jungle play mat a test drive. micah was only a little bit jealous... his vibrating bouncer seat kept him occupied though.

my son the organizer

micah has been sleeping great! he's beginning to create his own schedule...but what can you expect? he is my son after all. pretty soon he'll have a microsoft excel sheet documenting his sleep eat and poop schedule :) he wakes up to eat about every 4 hours, so josh and i have been getting solid 4 hour increments of sleep, which seems luxurious. he's already grown attached to his binkie, and he loves to sleep in his vibrating lounge chair. it feels like he's grown already so much since he was born. he's starting to fit into the 0-3 sleepers that he was swimming in when he first arrived.

2 week check up today!

today micah had his 2 week old doctors visit. he's 8lb15oz now, which means he has gained 10 ounces in 10 days and is heavier than his birth weight and he's stretched to 21 inches long. the doctor said he's a perfect little baby and must be a good eater. his umbilical cord stump has completely fallen off, and the doctor said he can have his first official bath in 2 more days. :) that'll be fun. he's been sleeping really well, waking up to eat twice at night, and still sleeping the majority of the daytime too.

our beanie boy's favorite face

this is micah's favorite facial expression. he's been doing it since the first day he was born, and we think it is the cutest thing in the whole world.
