Halloween!

Micah had an awesome 1st Halloween! He was a puppy (check out his cute little tail) and Malibu and mommy were pumpkins. Daddy wouldn’t dress up! Lame!! Mommy cooked spider dip and eyeball lasagna for dinner and Micah had a red sucker for dessert. We went through 3 Sam’s bags of candy for the trick-or-treaters here on base, and ended up turning out our lights before the fun was done outside. Micah finally crashed for the night, but did so in Halloween pj’s. So CUTE!

The Air Show

This weekend is the Little Rock Air Force Base Air Show! Since we moved to the base a week ago, we have had lots of fun listening to all the different planes fly in all week long. Micah loves them and Malibu is scared to death of them… we told her to get over it!! Yesterday (Friday) we got to go down to the flight line where daddy works and take a close up peek at all the planes and then watch the Blue Angels practice (The Blue Angels are the Navy’s Thunderbirds). They were so loud, but Micah loved them! He only cried when mommy covered his ears!

Micah loves his puppy!!

We just wanted to post some pictures from our most recent trip to Joplin. Micah had so much fun with Grandpa D jumping on the tramp, swinging, but most of all on his first tractor ride! The only thing that would have made it more perfect would have been if he had been wearing his Carhartt overalls while working the land. We call them his Uncle Travis overalls…Will someone make sure Uncle Travis sees the pictures!!

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!!

Visit to GG's

Micah and I went to visit Grandpa D and GG (Grandma Glenna) this past week. Micah went swimming in the hot tub and I thought we would never get him out! He loves the water! We can't believe how much he is growing and how much he looks like his daddy. He even rolled over for the first time at while at GG's house.
