our little bean's first easter
yesterday we celebrated our first easter with our little boy. we snapped some pictures of him out in our front yard with his easter basket and eggs before he konked out hard and took a solid 3 hour nap upstairs while everyone came over for easter dinner. we really had a fantastic time with all our friends, and once micah woke up he came down and flirted with all the girls, smiling and gurgling and cooing. :)
he was very very upset by the whole sitting in the basket thing :)

bubble blowing
now that micah's babbling and cooing he loves to blow bubbles with his mouth. the other day a huge bubble drifted down his chin and chilled there for about 10 minutes. haha!

my little bunny rabbit
today we had a little sitting up time and worked on building micah's neck muscles. he's getting so good at holding up his head, and is even kinda using his abs to try and stay upright against a pillow. i think he looks kinda like a bunny rabbit in the end of this video, hahaha :) so cute!
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!
