playing some b-ball

yesterday we went for a long walk with jonny, jen & viv. then we played some basketball in the court next door to our house while micah chilled in his stroller being the referee. :)

Sorry blog entries have been lacking. I've started working fulltime from home now, so there's not a lot of extra time in the day to update on the blogosphere. Let's see, what have we been doing with our days? Typically we wake up around 9am. Last night micah slept from midnight to 9ish. Yes! Making progress!! After we wake up and lay in bed for awhile, micah sits in his bouncy chair while mommy gets ready for the day. Then we move into the office/micah's room to hang out, maybe give micah a bath so he smells sweet. Mommy eats breakfast, if it isn't already lunch time by this point.

Then we hang out in our onesies all day in the office. I go back and forth between the crib or futon and my desk, working and then playing with the bean when he realizes his mobile needs new life breathed into it. (the stupid winding motor literally lasts not more than 30 seconds. And that thing is like crack to micah. He kicks and smiles and gurgles when you come to re-wind it. Winding that mobile every minute will be the death of me).

Eventually I'll pop downstairs to get lunch when micahs taking one of his naps, then continue working. If daddy's home that day, he tries to take care of micah as much as possible so I can work. Sometimes though that means getting him to fall asleep, then ditching to go downstairs to watch a movie :) hahaha

Sometime around 5pm we try to get suited up to go for a walk. I'd like to make it a regular occurrence but its hard to get motivated and out of the house when josh is working.

Then its dinner time, and we move the show downstairs to the kitchen and living room. micah swings in his lovely swing while we eat, then we hang out on the couch catching up on shows and veering micahs little eyes away from the bright moving screen. He's already attracted to it like a bug on a lightbulb. We're nipping that in the bud promptly :)

Bedtime is around 11 or 12. micah sleeps intermittenly all day, but we officially put him in the crib this late cause we like to keep him with us downstairs so we can gaze at him all night. Hahah

8 weeks old today!

micah is officially 8 weeks old today! time sure flies. we took him to his 2 month pediatrician appointment and he did wonderfully. he weighs 13 1/2 lbs and 23 1/2 inches long! the doctor said he's in the 90th percentile for height and weight and is growing great. the downside to the appointment was his first round of immunization shots. he took them like a champ, but turned bright red and cried pretty hard the first few seconds before we could pop the binkie in his mouth :)

his chubby little legs are a little sore so i'm not going to prop him up for his monthly elephant photo op. we can reference the ones i took last week to see his growth.

4 weeks old

7 weeks old

nappy time with daddy

micah loves to lay around and take naps with us. today daddy took a long nap and micah joined him. he's sleeping and eating great, and growing like a weed. he's 23 inches long and he weighs 13 1/2 lbs!!!

please change my diaper, daddy!

bathtime!

since micah has his daddy's Portuguese grease monkey skin (haha!) we've got to give him a bath a lot more often than we thought we would :)

dedication

micah was dedicated at church this sunday. josh and i went up on stage with the little guy and rick & cindy prayed over him and us. mimi and papa and our friends joined us, and we went out to the york in highland park for brunch afterwards. a new favorite!

pictures with papa

mimi and papa came down to burbank to visit this past weekend. leo came over and did a little photoshoot in our front yard, i'll upload the pictures a little later this week. we had a great time with mimi and papa. we took them to our favorite place oinksters (where we take ALL people who come to visit, haha!), walked around the americana in glendale, lots of walking at the mall (much to josh & papa's shagrin) and had an overall restful good time. thanks for the visit!! :)

here's some pictures of micah with his papa. we didn't get many photos of the two of them together when he was down for micah's birthday. :)

the jungle mat just sacks this little dude OUT

elephant picture update

almost 7 weeks old!

micah surprised me today with this during tummy time

sleep huffing

must've been having an intense dream about milk and dirty diapers and milk some more milk.

he sleeps so well, knock on wood :)

micah has started to form a *somewhat* schedule the past 3 to 4 nights. i feed him one last time around midnight and then we all go to bed. he's been sleeping 6 to 7 hours until around 7am when he wakes up hungry and in need of a diaper change. then he goes back to sleep for about 3 hours until around 10am. amazing!!

construction overalls

probably one of the last times micah will fit in these overalls, they're starting to be pretty tight! this week he's started to smile voluntarily, not quite on command yet so we can't seem to capture a good picture of it. all we can get is the tail end of the smile so far :)

sleep grunting

micahs loves to grunt and move while he's sleeping. he refuses to be swaddled in a blanket anymore, and i wouldn't blame him. feeling like you're stuck in a MRI tube wouldn't suit me for a sleeping situation either. he's taken to kicking and punching and raising his hands above his head while he sleeps.

the monkey likes his jungle mat

playing with the crinkle paper rattle

this is reeaaaaally late at night. mommy and micah were letting daddy sleep in the other room while we played.

our new bath toy

this is our newest toy for the bathtub. a turtle digital thermometer to ensure little micah's bum-bum doesn't get scalded in the tub :)

hanging out at home

we've been spending most of our days and nights hanging out at home. micah's been sleeping great and is much more alert during the daytime. we've taken a few more short videos, so i'll upload them in the next few posts. today we took a field trip to manhattan beach to visit with the girls at skechers and eat some big wok noodles for lunch. micah slept most of the trip, but woke up long enough to say hi to everyone. :)
