Pictures!

Well, this is a rare occasion--both boys are sleeping! So I had the opportunity to post some pictures to facebook. Also, I don't think I posted the link to April's pictures, so I'll go ahead and do that now.

What else is new? It's been so long since I've updated you on Micah..... He's 33 pounds now and about that many inches tall. We had to get him a bigger car seat. He loves counting and can make it to thirteen on his own (except he skips "11" every time). He can recognize all the numbers and about a dozen letters. Right now he's into playing basketball on his new hoop, playing with bubbles, getting the mail, and running. He loves to be outside, whether in the back yard or taking walks or whatever. I tried to get him to run through the sprinkler with me, but I think it will take some convincing.

Elijah is almost two months old. He's flashed a couple of smiles, but I'm still waiting for them to be consistent. He eats about every three hours and has one "big sleep" of about five or six hours every night. He's a pretty good baby, with a little bit of fussiness, but not much. His torso is long, like his brother's and dad's, so he's about to outgrow most of his 0-3 months clothes. He just keeps growing! He loves to be held, so I spend most of my time with him in my arms or on my lap.

I'm settling into a routine, I guess you could say, of having two kids. It's a lot more work! But each day gets easier, especially as Eli settles into a more predictable schedule. Life is good!

Is This Wrong?

Okay, so I know I've seen this happen on America's Funniest Home Videos, but they were teasing their pets, not their children. Still, it's funny, right?

Eli's Newborn Pictures

Here are a few pictures that were taken by the talented Lisa Osier (her son is in our youth group). Let me know if you would like prints of any of these, and I'll get them ordered for you!


This next one is hilarious...

Quick baby update: I haven't had him yet. I'm at 38 weeks, and ready to go, so it's just a waiting game now. Hopefully my next post will be a birth announcement!

More

It's interesting to watch Micah's speech develop. He says a lot of words, and many of them sound much like they're supposed to. He's developing new sounds every day. Example: For the longest time, "more" sounded like "mo." "No mo mo-mo" meant "No more monkeys" (his favorite book). However, now he's starting to develop his "r" sound, so "more" now sounds like "moy."

And boy, do we hear "moy" a lot....

It started with the Olympics. He loved to watch the athletes ski, bobsled, skate, or whatever, but once one run was finished, he hated waiting through the commentary until the next athlete began. So after one bobsled crossed the finish line, he immediately started saying "moy, moy, moy" until the next run began.

We also hear "moy" during meals (he eats a ton!), during commercials (who wants to wait for your show to come back on?), at the end of a movie or book, and after we give him an M&M or other sweet treat. He also says it when his daddy is wrestling with him or tickling him.

In other cute news, I think Micah has finally noticed that my belly is gigantic. He randomly comes and just points at it or pats it, and when he sits next to me on the couch, he uses his brother as an armrest. So cute. :)
