Merry Christmas!

Our family has had a very Merry Christmas. We started out the month with a visit from Grandma and Grandpa Harris. We had lots of fun showing them around LRAFB, and we even took a day trip to Memphis. Micah spent all month pulling ornaments off the tree and opening presents... that is until Christmas day when apparently opening presents became old news and quite boring! Micah was spoiled this Christmas… he got a new highchair, car seat, bath toys, regular toys, a piggy bank and coin collection, Star Wars cups and blanket from Uncle Jason… more than any 8 month old needs. We had lots of fun at GG’s for Christmas and we all wished Daddy’s Christmas break could have been longer! We got to talk to Uncle Shane on Christmas day!! He sounds really good and loves being in Taiwan. We can’t wait for him to get home and start teaching Micah some Chinese!!

Micah is Crawling!!

Micah is now fully mobile, and Mom and Dad are going crazy. We get done cleaning up one mess, and turn around to another. The dog food and water bowls have had to be moved and Micah has even taken over Malibu’s kennel! Last night we went bowling with Michael’s shop and Micah pulled himself up for the first time!! He hardly even needs us anymore.

Santa and Micah

Micah had so much fun at GG’s for Thanksgiving. GG gave him a whole piece of pumpkin pie to try (HUGE mess) and then he got to see snow for the first time (and eat his first snow ball). Daddy found a little wagon for Micah to play with and he thought that was super fun. I think his Santa letter is starting out… Dear Santa, I want a real wagon for Christmas! To which Santa will respond... Maybe next year!! Micah also learned to crawl while at GG’s so Mom snapped a few more pics of her Christmas Tree before Micah found it… which he did as soon as we got home!!

Micah's First Thanksgiving

Micah loved his first Thanksgiving. It was the first time he got to feed himself and he loved it! His favorite were the sweet potatoes and GG's 7up salad. Mom and Dad are glad he is at GG's cause then she got to clean up the mess!
This is my pilot suit that Grandma Cheri sent me!!

One Word... Oreo

After a wonderful dinner of squash Micah had a new dessert... Oreo... Never again!!

Our Ever Expanding Family

We thought we might update everyone on our ever expanding family. Micah and mommy have spent nearly every other week at GG’s. Mom works a little and Micah gets to play with Grandpa D all day!! They both love it!! Mom has been busy making Christmas ornaments, and once she was finished she had to put the tree up! Yes, it is a little early, but like Grandpa D said, “Melissa always gets what she wants… NOW!” Speaking of which, since the tree was up and mom wanted something (not necessarily now, but…) Christmas came early... INTRODUCING MOTOR!! We adopted Motor on Friday, and frankly he was just too good of an offer to pass up! He has made a wonderful addition to our family, and he and Malibu have become best friends… even though they are an odd couple!
