He's 5 weeks old already!  It was hard to take his picture because he was kicking like crazy.  He was busy practicing for riding a bike or something.
And it may have been just gas but it did happen three times... after I pocked him up this morning, I said Hi   and it sure did seem like he smiled at me!

It's gotten warm this week, so now you get to see his cute little legs!  How fast a month goes... We're doing well, still figuring each other out and learning.  This really is a hard job and definitely works on one's problem-solving skills.  Ah, but such sweet moments when Micah looks up at me and seems to really be looking at me, hearing his little yawn and having him cuddle into my shoulder.  Cherishing those moments...praying for wisdom during the not so quiet ones.

Micah 1 week

We're one week in and things are going relatively smoothly.  A routine is coming and we've been blessed to have help from Mom and Dad Kilby and Mom Van Drunen.

I'm starting to feel somewhat back to normal.  It's crazy how life changes and now we describe 3 hours of sleep at a time as a "good chunk" :) Micah has been sleeping well at night and seems like a pretty chill personality.  He is also cuter by the day and makes the funniest faces- raising one eyebrow at us while we're talking to him trying to wake him up, gets his tongue going or purses his lips.

Micah Tobias

Micah was born April 4, 2012 at 10:56 pm.  8 lbs, 14 oz and 21 in long.
Micah means "one who is like God" and this our prayer for him- that he would grow in the grace and knowledge of God and by God's grace we will direct him towards God in all things.  Tobias means "God is good."  John and I have learned this attribute of God even more in the last year, and with the arrival of Micah we praise God for His goodness.  Micah is healthy and it was a safe delivery without complications.
