First's

Micah has had lots of first’s the past two weeks. Our first “first” was a trip to the Cabot Park. We had lots of fun swinging, sliding, and just walking with Malibu. This day of fun at the park led to our second first…Micah’s first cold, complete with runny nose, cough, and lots of sneezes. We thought he was getting over it rather quickly until Saturday morning when he woke up with Pink Eye. YUCK!! This meant our first trip to the ER to get some meds. With all our illnesses under control by Wednesday, we were finally able to have another good first… Micah’s first bowl of cereal! Of course he was a mess, but it is so cute to watch him lap it up like a puppy. He practically dives for the bowl and spoon now, and Michael and I can already tell we will have to control his intake!

Our family has been very busy this month. Between trips to GG and Grandpa D’s house and potty training Micah’s new puppy, Michael and I feel like we are always on the go. We have however made time to go to the pool as often as the weather allows us. Micah still loves the water, even when it is too cold for mommy and daddy.

On the 23rd of August, we welcomed a new member into our family. Malibu is our new English Bulldog and she is as stubborn as she could be. She was born on July 9th, which makes her exactly 2 months younger then Micah. Micah likes her as long as she isn’t trying to chew his toes and ears off!! Nothing is safe from Malibu. She is slowly learning how to respond to commands like “OUT!” “OFF!” and “GENTLE!” if only for a few seconds.

I am sure no one is surprised to find out that Micah is spoiled rotten! However, in the few moments each day that he spends on the floor he has mastered the art of rolling over. He mostly likes to practice his new talent when mommy is trying to change his diaper or dress him. He is such a happy baby all the time. We are so lucky to have him!!
