Two Months

Micah is 2 months old today! He has come so far in the few short weeks he has been with us! Yesterday he had his check-up, complete with 3 shots! :( He was brave though...I mean he cried...but only for a brief moment! He weighed in at 9 lbs. 14 oz. and was 21.5 inches tall. He is in the 5th-10th percentile for his age but the doctor is still very impressed at how well he is doing! We have still been advised to keep him at home as much as possible to avoid exposure to illnesses. We've mostly done very well with this...but have snuck him out a couple of times. Micah is still wearing newborn diapers but I imagine it won't be long before he moves up to a 1. He is also still wearing some newborn clothes and some 0-3 month clothes. We have already had to switch him to a hypo-allergenic formula due to some tummy issues. For the most part he is a very good baby and doesn't seem to be too colicky...yet! He does very well at night, sleeping 4-5 hours between feedings and lasting about 3 between feedings during the day. I've got a couple of little smiles from him in the last day or so...hoping we will begin seeing those more often! His big brothers are in love with him and can't wait to he is a little more exciting to play with! I know it won't be long!
 I found these cute little tie stickers on ETSY...there's one for each month. I've seen some similiar to this before but never as a little tie for boys. Unfortunately I missed the first month though as he turned 1 month on Christmas Eve and between the Holidays and my second surgery I just didn't think about it. Better late than never I guess! 
 Even though his eyes are crossed in this picture, I love the shot of his beautiful lashes...just like his brothers and daddy.
I'm absolutely in love with Micah's beautiful red hair...I hope the color doesn't change too much as he grows!

PS-I'm not sure what's up with my blog and why the side bars have shrunk and are stuck in the middle of the page...still working on that! :)

Fone Pics Friday

Since our phones are what tend to be the most handy, we are finding that many of our pictures are captured on them these days...therefore, I might have a few more "Fone Pics Friday" posts than usual!

Fresh Year...Fresh Baby

We were finally able to give Micah his first bath the other night after waiting 5 weeks for his umbilical cord to fall off! He did pretty well overall...much different than his big brother's (Reid) first bath. Micah does NOT like to be naked and just shivers and cries when you take his clothes off to change him or put a new outfit on. But, the second we got him in the warm water and covered him with a warm cloth he was happy. He got a little more fussy when we started to actually wash him.
The picture above is actually from a week or so ago. We were going to cheat and attempt to give him a bath with his cord still on (being careful not to get it wet). However, when we opened his diaper we noticed that his little "manhood" area looked super inflamed and red and we thought maybe he had gotten an infection from his circumcision so we decided to wait on the bath just in case.



We took the cloth off to wash him....cue the screaming...


 His hair gets curly when wet....
