self feeding skills

Micah loves to try to do things on his own these days.. he's getting pretty good at figuring out how to take the bottle...

takes him a few tries though...

"which end goes up?"

success!

so proud of his accomplishment!

yummy in my tummy?!?

Micah is a really good eater... even when he doesn't enjoy a certain 'item', (see below) he still sucks it up and chokes it down. His 'not-so-favorites' include sweet potato and applesauce. Actually, he probably likes just about everything, the problem is probably that he is expecting what he previously has and we change it up on him. One thing we are definitely not going to try again is sweet potato mixed with plain yogurt. That sounds wretched really, that was Angela's idea not mine... just to set the record straight! sweet potato with boring old plain yogurt? stirred up together??!!?? Can you blame him for responding like this?

poor guy..... oh well, eating things you don't like at least builds character!

We're Back!

I (by "I" i mean Angela, Joe is the usual blogger in this house) realize that by now you must have despaired of all hopes of ever seeing another post on this blog and for that we have a very good reason. Our computer had crashed and we were down for almost a month, but last week, thanks to the kindness of a friend, we are back in the "online community" (i think that's an oxymoron actually... but anywho).

Without any more ado (what exactly is "ado"?) here's some pics: Joe thinks i have too many unecessary parenthesis in my posts (have no idea what he's talking about.) So we finally put that little bathrobe on him for the first time the otherday, and we realized how utterly unfunctional a bathrobe is for a baby, seemed like such a great idea when we bought it pre-birth.... oh well, the things you learn... it also was a bit too short for him (if you know what i mean...).

hmm. joes not here and i don't know how to turn pics right side up (should i wait or just post... ahh i'll post, you all can turn your computers sideways)

Comming next: Micah's Introduction to the TOOTHBRUSH (so in real life i try not to go on and on about all the little details of Micahs daily life, but on this blog, i'll indulge myself since you all can just turn it off at will if it gets too much ) .....next i'll describe the cutting of each of his five teeth and the evolution of his bowel movements from meconium (green newborn poop) to it's current state! ... hehe... just kidding.
