Micah Man & Mommy


Now that I'm off of work:) I finally have a tad bit of time to update you all.
MY SWEET, SWEET BOY. All I can think at the moment is that I can not believe his 1st B-day is around the corner. I guess us mommies never can. I feel like I just had him. That to me is one of the toughest parts of being a parent, is watching how darn fast it goes. He is really coming into his own personality. It's pretty amazing to have watched him the past 11 months and see how complete opposites siblings can be. He is so calm and mild mannered that we thought Layla Grace would just rule him. However, he is getting louder with all his little sounds and babbles, no real words yet. Again, so opposite of Layla who was saying many words at this point. He has beaten her at WALKING though. Last Friday evening Chris & I left to go to dinner and were just up the street when Granny B called and said he took 6 steps. We keep telling Layla Grace she better watch out because he's not going to tollerate her beating up on him and taking his toys away much longer. Payback is near. Well, he has stollen our hearts. His grin and giggle just melt me. I love you my "little monkey".

Taking Over

Taking Over Sissy's TerritoryMicah is growing way too fast for my liking. I keep telling him so slow down. He has been pulling up on things and creeping for weeks now. His legs are getting very strong. I have a feeling he will be walking in the near future, remember he just turned 9 months so I'm not ready for this milestone but he seems to be. He is the sweetest thing in the world. He is so mild mannered, completely unlike his sister. However lately he is getting into everything as you can see in this pic. He will pull up on the kitchen and pull everything out of the sink and onto the floor to chew and bang around. I actually caught him this evening sitting on top of Layla's art station. (see older posts from Christmas) This was very scary bc he had to climb up there and could have fallen back and busted his head. Needless to say I moved her art station out of the kitchen and into a "Micah free" zone.

DIRT

GardeningLayla Grace wanted to help her Daddy get the garden in shape for Spring. She decided that it looked much better on her than the grass.

She began with just the feet... and then the hands. Then she decided to bend over to see if any had gotton on her hiney and she fell face down.

She had some mudpie!


Right after this pic came the tears because she didn't like the taste of the mud. She was easy to hose down but her clothes are another story.. any suggestions because my all time fave Oxi-clean didn't do the trick.
