Growing up

Micah started preschool and Gideon was a little upset that Micah was going somewhere with him. Although he seems to have adjusted now. Benjamin at almost 4 months is rolling over now. This is the third time I've found him on his stomach during naptime. 

Merry Christmas

All smiles

2 years old!

Gideon loves nemo and dory so I attempted to make character cakes. He loved them!  His excitement made my day!  He's a chatter box now and has added so many words. he loves the pool and animals and keeping up with Micah. 

And this little guy is 2 months old already!

Welcome to our family!

Happy Birthday, Micah!

This kid is 4 years old!  He told us this morning he didn't feel any different.

Smiles

Hug

We have this thing about giving a hug until the person squeaks. 

Gideon's squeak turned to a slight squeal but it was good. 

Happy Birthday, Gideon!

10 months old

Need to double check where the point of focus is in the future but this was a try to get a quick photo of the smiling, standing boy.  He chatters quite a bit but I haven't picked up on any distinguishable words yet. His chatter is a sweet, joyful sound though- most of the time.  He does get frustrated when he can't make something work the way he wants or when he's ready for attention.

Word confusion

I needed to vacuum yesterday so I told Micah that I was going to do that. He ran to the island cabinets and said "I'll get the lowercase vacuum."  And got the hand held DustBuster. (Lowercase vacuum?????- what?). I realized after a moment that as we talk about letters I usually try to say capital and lowercase. Other times though, and in one game we have, the letters are referred to as big and little. 

So apparently little and lowercase are synonyms for Micah. I didn't try to explain, I just enjoyed the thoughtful cuteness.

Happy Birthday, Micah!

mall train

We just got back from Nashville and the outlet mall there had probably the coolest little train that drives through a portion of the mall.  We got our tickets, hopped in the caboose and then waved to all the people we passed on our ride through the mall.  Micah loved it and even got to pull the bell after our ride.

Meanwhile, Gideon has gotten his top two teeth, has finally decided he'll take a bottle and will be crawling before long I expect.  He gets up on all fours and flops himself down to his belly to get the extra inches he needs to reach something or will army crawl a bit in order to get a closer view of whatever he's after.  He's getting more interactive, lights up with a big smile if Micah starts talking to him, and Micah loves talking to Gideon.  Sometimes so much so, that he wakes Gideon up by climbing in his crib in order to start the day. :/
