pushing up from the tummy

micah's starting to do so many new things. when he's on his tummy, he pushes himself up onto his hands or elbows so he can look around. and if he's really ticked at you for putting him on his tummy, he'll scoot his knees under and scoot around in the crib. then we'll peek in to find him wedged into the upper corner of the crib.

star wars, ray bans, and a beer...can you get much better than that??

today we took a trip to paramount's studio lot for the annual cine-gear expo with daddy. we got to walk around and look at all kinds of cool lights and cameras and gear....but we really went for the free snacks :) micah looks kinda bummed out in this picture, but he's just acting cool to impress the chicks. hahah

standing up in the play saucer

micah would like to thank aunt amanda and his cousins avery and colby for the play saucer. what a cool toy, he loves it! :) as you can see we're propping him up with a big book under his feet so he has more space to push off of. his little chubby legs aren't quite long enough to reach the floor yet, hahah.

first time swimming!

i took micah swimming with jen and viv the other day at the glassell park public swimming pool near eagle rock. he didn't seem to mind it much, although he didn't seem to care for it all that much either. he was kinda just chill about the whole thing. sucking on his thumb and looking around relaxing.

milestones!!

micah has definitely been reaching some major milestones in the past few weeks. he's taking his binkie in and out of his mouth (kinda), holding toys and bringing them up to his mouth, eating solid foods....

....batting and grabbing at the toys dangling from his jungle play mat


....and rolling over!!!!

memorial day bbq

we had a bbq at the park for memorial day with all our friends. you can't go wrong with a big blanket on a nice big grassy knoll, hot dogs, chips, pasta salad, and a little bit of bocce ball.

first solid meal!

micah received his first solid meal on may 24, 2009. he did pretty good, spit a lot of it out but i think 1/2 a tablespoon was swallowed :) every day he's getting better and better at it.
