baby steps towards mobility

yay for cousins!

missing anything?

sometimes Micah wakes up from a nap, or I get home from work and it seems like he changed so much in the few hours that I was away from him. Makes me wonder if I'm missing anything... and how much, too much?



decent snow storm last nite put me out plowing from 3pm thursday to 5am friday... seemed as tho i'd been away for days, and when i saw him after he woke up in the morning it felt as if he had changed a lot and is growing up really fast.

my mother always tells me that it goes by really quickly and to enjoy it, looks like she's right... just sometimes wish that life didn't require so much work and time spent away from home in order to make things happen.

well, off to new things for the day... Angela is upset because the dish soap she bought at the dollar store doesn't get dishes clean, oh well... the Red Sox started spring training and that means it's time to get ready for a new baseball season, last year Micah was pretty aloof to baseball:





maybe this year he will be a little more interested!

Friends

Micah really enjoys watching other kids, probably can't wait till he can run around too.
Henry comes over on Thursdays and they really enjoy playing together! Micah thinks he's the coolest!
















baby butt... (this posting inspired by Jossy's naked bum on Kristin's blog)
although i must admit that Micah's skinny butt just can't measure up to Jossy's chunky tush!




































Sarah and Micah, they both look a little dazed....

daddy's little boy

It's cute how little kids have a different relationship with their dad's as opposed to their moms. Now, don't get me wrong, i know Micah likes me too, i mean, i am his source for his every need at this point, the kid can't help but be fond of me.... but he just gets so excited to see Joe.

It's like he knows when he sees his dad that he's going to get thrown up in the air, shaken and tickled (which might explain why he usually does not settle down enough to take a bottle from Joe, cuz he thinks it's play time and not feeding time).

Maybe it has to do with the fact that Kids see less of their fathers, generally, so it just makes Dads more special, who knows....

the protegee.. never too young for a baseball cap (according to Joe)

and by the way.... Micah's first sylable is:

da da da.... fitting
