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.
