Kyle and Emily's Wedding

Our summer this year is full of weddings and wedding showers. We have three cousins, one very close friend, and Matt's brother all with summer weddings. Matt is in two of the weddings and I was in my cousin Kyle's wedding on June 27th. I also celebrated my 30th birthday that day. It was a great way to tone down the fact that I was no longer in my 20's. I want to thank Kyle and Emily for doing that for me. :-)

Anyone who knows me knows that I like to take pictures. The only person that may like taking pictures more then me is my cousin Kendra. We normally swap picture taking at big events like our kid's birthday parties, baby dedications, ect. Since Kendra was in Kyle and Emily's wedding, she asked me to take some pictures for her. It was a good thing she emptied her memory card because between the two of us we took 571 pictures. Here are some of the shots we took.

Here are Kyle and Emily. The wedding was perfect and the bride beautiful. Thanks guys for asking me to be a part of your wedding.

CJ and Kendra were both in the wedding. Don't they look great. As you can tell from this picture, I scored a great seat at the wedding since I was taking pictures and doing a reading.

Here is Micah at the wedding. I wish you could see the adorable tie he is wearing under his sweater vest. I got the whole 4-piece outfit for $5.00 at Once Upon a Child. What a great deal. His daddy wasn't too sure about the pink, but I think it looked great.

Little Wiggles

Micah has reached the 6 month milestone. He is almost 17 pounds and 27 inches. Last Sunday he officially crawled. He has been getting around just fine since he was 4 months old, but now he has learned how to move on all fours. He does a lot of rocking on his hands and knees and spinning in circles, but he has moved forward a few times. I say one more week with good floor time and he will be unstoppable. He has earned the nickname Little Wiggles because he cannot sit still. Even when he is not trying to squirm out of my arms, his legs are still kicking. He is exhausting to hold. Changing his diaper is an absolute wrestling match which he wins more often then not. I am trying to master putting a diaper on him while he is on his belly. He still wakes up every 3 hours or so at night. We started him on solid food since every told me that would help him sleep through the night. So such luck so far. My mom looked at me today and said, "you need 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep." I tried to remember the last time I slept for 8 hours straight. I know it hasn't happened since Amelia was born because she didn't sleep through the night until after Micah was born. Oh well, I guess I can dream. All that aside though, Micah is an absolute ray of sunshine. He is always smiling. He even smiles when he cries. He has the most contagious laugh. He gets so excited when someone new comes in the room especially when that someone is Mommy, Daddy, or Amelia. We are so blessed.
