Sleeping on the Job

Micah had another long night of sleep last night. I fed him around 8pm (he didn't eat very much), we gave him a bath, put him to bed, and didn't hear from him again until 3am!

Nana and Grandpapa (Scott's parents) came for a visit this weekend. Micah had a little bit of a fever and a stuffy nose. His grandparents gave him some extra holding and loving to nurse him back to health. His nose is still stuffed up, but he's playing and acting like his normal self this morning. Well, he was playing......until he fell asleep.....

They start so young these days....

Sleep

Micah slept through the night last night!!! I'm still in shock; I was not expecting this much sleep for a while. Scott gave Micah a bottle at 8:30 last night, then Micah played for about two hours before I put him to bed. He didn't wake up until 5:15 this morning! I'm not foolish enough to believe that he's going to sleep that long every night, but it's still very exciting.

Easter

Happy Easter! We're back home after a fun weekend in Harrisburg. Micah was fantastic on both car rides. On the way there he slept almost the whole time, waking up only long enough to eat. On the way back he was awake more, but just chilled in his car seat. Here's a picture of us in our Easter clothes (pre-spit-up) and one I just took of our happy baby.

Blog Stalkers

For those of you who check the blog every day (you know who you are), you're going to have to take the weekend off. We're leaving for Harrisburg tomorrow for our annual March Madness reunion with some of our college friends. That means no new pictures of Micah until Monday. I know it will be rough, but you'll be all right.

Micah wants to give a shout out to his peeps and thank you all for saying how cute he is (we never get tired of hearing it).

Doctor's Visit

Micah had his one month well-visit today. It started out great. Even though we woke Micah up from his nap to strip him down naked to poke and prod him, he was as happy as could be. He patiently waited as the nurse and doctor asked all their questions and checked him out. Unfortunately, he was looking a little yellow, so the doctor wanted to draw blood to check his jaundice. Poor little guy had no idea what was coming. The little baby who had been happily lying on the table for at least 20 minutes, suddenly turned tomato-red and started screaming as the nurse pricked his heel to draw blood. He recovered quickly when she was done, but the torture was not over. He also had to get a vaccine shot!! Poor Micah. He was crying so hard he had little tears on his face. :( He settled down on the car ride home, but when I went to get him out of the car seat, he gave me a very sad, injured look. :( Thank goodness he'll have forgotten all about it in a few hours.

We'll get the results of the jaundice test tomorrow. Other than that, everything looks good. He's in the 75th percentile for height and weight. He's 10 pounds and 22 inches. Here are pictures from today and a month ago, so you can see how much he's grown.

Follow the Leader

I'm not sure what's happening in this picture, but I think Micah and his teddy bear are playing "follow the leader."

Diaper Dandy

Are you ready for selection Sunday? Micah is! It's March Madness, baby!!!

Snowsuit

Ooh boy are you going to be glad that you stopped by the blog today! I've got a great picture for you! I tried putting Micah in his snowsuit to go outside for a walk (it was sunny and relatively warm). Obviously, it was much too big for him, making for a very cute picture. But that's not the best part. He thought it was funny, and I caught a picture of him laughing!!!

Birthday Present

Micah and I combined some of our birthday money (from my mother and grandmother) to buy an awesome new toy!! It's a jogging stroller that converts to a biking trailer! I've been coveting these contraptions online and was overjoyed to find a used one on Craig's List for about half the market price! (If you don't know what Craig's List is, you're missing out. It's similar to ebay, only way better. Check it out: http://www.craigslist.com/)


However, due to the fact that the ground is covered with snow, and Micah is unable to hold his head up on his own, it will be several months before we actually get to use it.

New Haircut

For a birthday treat yesterday, I got my haircut. Katie came over to babysit Micah while I braved the snow. Here's a picture of my new look:

I had to take a picture of this - I think Micah's butt in the air is hilarious.

And this is just plain cute.

Clever baby

Micah got up early this morning and put this picture as the background on my computer:

A Few Firsts

This morning Micah and I went on our first errand together to Wal-mart. Micah was an angel the whole time. He doesn't seem to mind being in his car seat, which is very nice for me.



Last night Micah had his first bottle. I've started pumping and storing milk so that Daddy can feed him sometimes (and so we'll be able to go out and leave him with a baby-sitter). Micah chugged the whole bottle easily. He doesn't seem to care where the milk comes from, as long as he gets fed.



Still a champion sleeper....
