cookie monster

micah's starting to learn how to grab and hold things, and even put them in his mouth. we place the toy on his belly or in front of him, and he takes it from there. sometimes we aren't quite sure that he's actually intending to grab the toy and shove it in his mouth...but we'd like to think it's intentional :)

micah is now officially a hipster

grandma turnbow is visiting for a few days. so we spent the day shopping at the americana in glendale yesterday, and found these SWEET sunglasses for micah. we've definitely needed some shades for this little man, everytime we drive east the sun shines directly in his face because we don't have one of those gay suction cup sun shades yet :) so he'll definitely enjoy these.

curious george jack-in-the-box

we found a vintage tin jack-in-the-box that we think is curious george. so we've been starting to train micah to get used to it, so he's not be startled by these scary things. i don't want him to be all jumpy like daddy for the rest of his life. :)

family trip to olvera street

today we took a family trip to olvera street in downtown LA to research josh's ninjito wardrobe. micah got to try on some incredibly embellished sombrero hats for reference :)

and we even ran into john wayne in the saddle shop!

an afternoon at the descanso gardens

today we had a relaxing stroll through the descanso gardens in la canada with our friend from church channa and her two kids jaeda and asher. we'll definitely have to go back with daddy and explore more next time.

little teddy bear

the weather down here is starting to warm up, so we utilized a cooler evening this week to put micah in this adorable teddy bear fuzzy jacket before he outgrows it :(

this one reminds me of the kid in the red snowsuit from a christmas story, hahaha
