waiting for daddy to get home

Sorry blog entries have been lacking. I've started working fulltime from home now, so there's not a lot of extra time in the day to update on the blogosphere. Let's see, what have we been doing with our days? Typically we wake up around 9am. Last night micah slept from midnight to 9ish. Yes! Making progress!! After we wake up and lay in bed for awhile, micah sits in his bouncy chair while mommy gets ready for the day. Then we move into the office/micah's room to hang out, maybe give micah a bath so he smells sweet. Mommy eats breakfast, if it isn't already lunch time by this point.

Then we hang out in our onesies all day in the office. I go back and forth between the crib or futon and my desk, working and then playing with the bean when he realizes his mobile needs new life breathed into it. (the stupid winding motor literally lasts not more than 30 seconds. And that thing is like crack to micah. He kicks and smiles and gurgles when you come to re-wind it. Winding that mobile every minute will be the death of me).

Eventually I'll pop downstairs to get lunch when micahs taking one of his naps, then continue working. If daddy's home that day, he tries to take care of micah as much as possible so I can work. Sometimes though that means getting him to fall asleep, then ditching to go downstairs to watch a movie :) hahaha

Sometime around 5pm we try to get suited up to go for a walk. I'd like to make it a regular occurrence but its hard to get motivated and out of the house when josh is working.

Then its dinner time, and we move the show downstairs to the kitchen and living room. micah swings in his lovely swing while we eat, then we hang out on the couch catching up on shows and veering micahs little eyes away from the bright moving screen. He's already attracted to it like a bug on a lightbulb. We're nipping that in the bud promptly :)

Bedtime is around 11 or 12. micah sleeps intermittenly all day, but we officially put him in the crib this late cause we like to keep him with us downstairs so we can gaze at him all night. Hahah

8 weeks old today!

micah is officially 8 weeks old today! time sure flies. we took him to his 2 month pediatrician appointment and he did wonderfully. he weighs 13 1/2 lbs and 23 1/2 inches long! the doctor said he's in the 90th percentile for height and weight and is growing great. the downside to the appointment was his first round of immunization shots. he took them like a champ, but turned bright red and cried pretty hard the first few seconds before we could pop the binkie in his mouth :)

his chubby little legs are a little sore so i'm not going to prop him up for his monthly elephant photo op. we can reference the ones i took last week to see his growth.

4 weeks old

7 weeks old

nappy time with daddy

micah loves to lay around and take naps with us. today daddy took a long nap and micah joined him. he's sleeping and eating great, and growing like a weed. he's 23 inches long and he weighs 13 1/2 lbs!!!

please change my diaper, daddy!

bathtime!

since micah has his daddy's Portuguese grease monkey skin (haha!) we've got to give him a bath a lot more often than we thought we would :)
