Doctor Visit

Now that Micah is two years old, and Eli has had his first half-birthday, I thought it was time to update you on their well-baby stats.

Eli: Height: 26.75 in. (68%) Weight: 20 lbs. 6 oz (92%)
Micah: Height: 36.25 in. (92%) Weight 33 lbs. (93%)

I took them both to the doctor at the same time, and I thought it was pretty cute to see them both just sitting on the table in their diapers, waiting to be seen. :) When it came time for shots, Micah cried before, during and after he got poked. And then he cried empathetically when he saw that it was Eli's turn. Eli, however, only cried for about 4 seconds, and that only after the third shot! Tough guy.

In other news, here's a link to September's facebook pictures, including Micah's birthday party and Eli's 5-month photo shoot.

Birthday Party

Look at him, isn't he cute? This picture was taken on his actual birthday, Thursday the 23rd of September. We had a party on Saturday the 25th. And I happened to do laundry on the Friday in between, and he wore the same shirt on both occasions. Ha. :)So Grandma and Grandpa Brown, and Aunt Kayla and her boyfriend Travis came down to celebrate with us. On Saturday morning we took advantage of Free Museum Day and took Micah to see the model trains at the Durham Museum here in town. He loved it! They had a little step for the short ones like him to stand on: He kept running over to push the button that put the trains in motion. I think he could have spent hours watching the trains.

After lunch, Micah took a nap and all us ladies worked on party food, including a train cake. It's not exactly a professional job, but we enjoyed making and decorating it, and I think it turned out pretty cute. :)

Matt and Courtney, Lauren, and Grandma and Grandpa Headlee also joined us for the party. We had some food and then Micah opened his presents. He got some clothes, sports-themed decorations for his room, bubbles, golf clubs, Hot Wheels, and a wooden train set, to name a few.

Dad had to help him blow out the candles.

After the cake, we just hung out around the house. Kayla was enjoying herself.

He's loving all the new toys!

It was definitely a fun time. I'll be posting more pictures on facebook soon, and I'll post a link here, too.

The Big 0-2!

Happy Birthday to Micah! We have family coming in this weekend to help us celebrate, so stay tuned for more pictures and updates.

Regressing

Micah has been able to count to ten since he was about 18 months old. However, lately he doesn't exactly count in sequence....

While looking at a picture today, Josh told him to count the puppies (there were five). He counted exactly like this: "One, threefivesix, seven, eighteen!" He repeated that exact sequence on several more pictures.

Good thing it's three more years until kindergarten!

Five Months Old!

Check me out!

August Pics

We're getting into the fall routine around here. Of course, that doesn't mean much for a stay-at-home mom of preschoolers, but Josh's church events have settled into their weekly routine again. Camps are over, Bible studies are starting, the weather's getting cooler, and all the stores and places to play are less crowded during school hours!

Eli will be five months old in a week. Micah will be two years old a couple of weeks after that. Wow. Where does the time go, seriously?

Anywho, here are pictures from August. Enjoy!
