sleeping in with daddy
daddy worked really late last night and didn't get home until 3am this morning. mommy woke up early (9:00) and put micah in bed with daddy so micah got the privilege to sleep in with him . those sleepy boys sure enjoyed a lazy morning. :)

a sunday out without daddy
we had a bit of a rough mid-part of the day today. the morning began fantastic. daddy's working, but micah and i woke up bright and early (that's 9am) and got ready for the day. got dressed, ate, played and laughed a little. then we headed off to church and scored a sweet front curb parking spot that i swiftly parallel parked in one sweeping move. what a great day so far!
the day took a downturn as i was leaning over unstrapping little micah from his carseat and didn't see his pudgy little pinky finger was resting fairly close to the clasp on his binkie holder. when i un-did it, his pinky got pinched pretty hard, and he definitely let it be known. suffice it to say, he went ballistic. i got him into the baby bjorn and settled him down, but he was still huffing a little by the time we got into the foyer. within seconds of hearing the loud music and drums, it was ballistic 2.0 so we retreated to the mommy and me room. we got settled, but even the loudness coming from the TV was upsetting him, so i thought to myself "hmm... what can i do to settle him down? i know! i'll breastfeed" even though technically it wasn't time to eat yet, he'd just finished eating less than an hour ago. but it certainly settled him down. once church service was over, we packed up and got ready to go do the meet and greet in the foyer. the minute micah sat upright...PUKE. all.the.milk. i guess in his heart he desired to eat, but his tummy must've been full still.
so now micah and i with my soaked wet tank top gather our gear and i toss the diaper bag over my shoulder and feel a pinch on my back. oh well, i keep walking. we're hanging out, saying our hellos and goodbyes to everyone and someone asks why i'm bleeding. what? i ask. i turn and look in the mirror and have a stream of blood dripping down my back shoulder onto my clothes. i suppose the buckle from the diaper bag stabbed me. what a day! i felt pretty overwhelmed carrying micah on my chest, dabbing a wound on my back, and hefting a diaper bag. i don't know how anyone ventures out of their house with a baby and no husband to help out. :) i think i'll make sure to let josh know how appreciative i am of him when he gets home tonight. it's hard to do it all alone!
once we got home we took naps and now we are feeling much better. micah's smiling and being a goober babbling on and on and i have a bandaid on my back and a fresh clean shirt on.

crib time and the magical mobile
like i'd mentioned in an earlier post...that mobile hanging over micah's crib is like crack to him. he kicks and and smiles, just laying there talking to himself while the mobile spins and spins. once it stops, he starts to get upset. and once you get up and rewind it, he gets so excited, waving his arms and kicking both legs and smiling. you can see how he locks eyes on one of the animals and tracks it to the side, then finds the next animal and tracks that one. pretty good vision, hopefully it'll stay that way but it's unlikely since both daddy and mommy both needed glasses!
nakee nap time
micah looooooves to hang out in just his diaper. like father like son, they love to chill in just the draws. :)
a morning with mommy
if we move micah's chin up and down it usually sparks some smiles and talking... he was a little fussy this morning because we'd waited a little too long to eat breakfast.
learning to talk
micah's first word will officially be "aahh-goooo" :)
here's where we spend a lot of our time hanging out on the futon bed in micah's room. daddy and micah love to take naps here while mommy works at her desk a few feet away.

uncle jason stops through
jason stopped by for dinner on his drive down to san diego this past wednesday. it was his first meet and greet with the little bean and they had a fantastic time together. micah slept and nuzzled jason's neck, making jason feel incredibly masculine. :)
