Growing Up Fast

Ok, I know that when you have an 8lb 12oz baby, you should not be surprised when he continues to grow quickly and be way high in the baby size percentile. But, when you are used to picking up a 24 pound little girl, her 13.5 pound brother feels like a feather. So it should not have come as a shock to me when I had to spend this week sorting all the clothes that have been given to me to find 3-6 month clothes for my two month old little boy. It should also not have been a shock when he was just the perfect length (24 inches) for his new size clothes. It was a shock though. My little boy is growing up too fast.

Micah has started laughing now and that coupled with his big smiles can make even sitting on the couch a wonderful event. He likes to stand and put weight on his legs and he has amazing head control. I look forward to the day when I can put him in his Exersaucer and he can see the world from a different view. For now though, his favorite place to be is his swing. (Just imagine a motorized hammock.)

The Zoo

A couple of weeks ago, we decided to brave the zoo in 25 degree weather. Aunt Della was nice enough to brave it with us and paid our way in. Needless to say, we only went to the indoor exhibits, but we had a great time. This was the first trip to the zoo for both Amelia and Micah. I haven't been in a very long time. We look forward to going back when it is a little bit warmer, well at least above freezing.


Micah slept almost the whole time, but here is a shot with his eyes open. He really didn't say much about the zoo, but we think he had a good time. LOL.

The Aquarium was Amelia's favorite place. We stayed there for almost an hour. Because it was so cold outside, there were not a lot of people at the zoo so Amelia was able to be right up against the glass the whole time. She loved it and we loved watching her.

Micah

Here is Micah at 1 month old. He is already almost two months old and we will have more pictures taken on Monday. I have some pictures to upload later of our freezing cold trip to the zoo. For now, here is our beautiful (handsome is more PC I guess) boy.
