My World

My whole world is made up of 30 little fingers and 30 little toes, 6 beautiful baby blues, hundreds of gorgeous eye lashes, 2 dirty blonds, 1 fiery red-head, 1 raggedy bear, a little bit of stubbornness, and a whole lot of dirt! I can't believe how much I love these little guys. Before each new child was born I went through a period of concern over how in the world I could love another child like I loved the other/s. I'm amazed that God has literally split my heart into 3 equal parts! They are each so different and unique...yet my love for them runs so deep! What amazes me more is that God loves them even more than I am capable of! Thank you, Lord, for these three beautiful souls!

Spring has Sprung!

It's our favorite time of year! The weather is perfect...and my boy's favorite place in the whole world to be is outside! So, we take just about every opportunity we can to be outside before it gets hot hot hot!! We play, we take walks, we eat meals, we swim...whatever we can...we savor it! Today during naptime Landon and I went to run errands. He asked if he could bring his grocery cart to purchase some items as well. I thought this was a sweet idea so I let him. He led the way and just like his momma the first place he hit up was the dollar section of Target. He picked out some fun water squirt toys for him and Reid. So ofcourse, when we got home we needed to test them out! The water was a little chilly for the boys so they weren't quite as into it yet, but I know it's only a matter of time before that cool water will be feeling good! This was actually our second swim of the season so far. Our pool was fine the first time we used it, but today Aaron noticed that it had a hole in it, so we borrowed MiMi's pool until we can get a new one! :)

 

 It was a little chilly for Micah but he made sure to keep an eye on the older boys...

 

 Sweet smiles for MiMi...and a little drool.

 I can't believe how grown up they are starting to look!



Side note: I apologize for the obnoxious background that has shrunk and is now in the middle of the screen...a new blog look is coming soon!!

Soccer Mom

It's official...I'm a soccer mom! As an all-boy family we have finally entered the world of sports...although I'm not sure how long we'll stay there! :) Landon started his first season of soccer! He really seems to enjoy it, although the practices and games are more controlled chaos than anything. It's a hard concept for 4 year olds to understand that it's now OK to take someone's ball away...but only with your feet...and only if they're not on your team. So much to learn! At least the important thing right now is to have fun! We'll keep working on the soccer skills too! His team pictures are this weekend!

Micah thoroughly enjoys the games...

Micah Update

Since my last post was when Micah was around 2 months old (now 4.5 months), I thought I would update on our littlest guy. Micah continues to do very well and is growing and progressing just as he should. At his four month appt. he weighed 12 lbs. 13 oz. and was 24 inches. While he remains in the 5th-10th percentile for both these measurements, the doctor is very pleased with his progress, even compared to a full-term baby. He is still fairly colicky, although we've seen some *slight* improvements over the last few days (fingers crossed!). He is currently on his 3rd medication for reflux as we have tried to figure out what causes him to cry so fiercly. We are just praying that his system continues to grow and mature and he will outgrow this uncomfortable stage very soon! Micah is smiling, cooing and laughing a bit more...although it's still hard to capture on camera. He has beautiful long lashes and blue eyes like his brothers, however, his are a bit more mysterious to me! :) He can roll from his tummy to his back but it's usually not on purpose...mostly when he's having a fit of rage. He is still only drinking formula. We will wait until closer to 5 or 6 months to start cereal or baby food. He just started wearing size 2 diapers and wears size 3-6 month clothes. He is a drool monster and we constantly keep a bib on him to salvage his clothes as much as possible! He still has a small hernia on his belly button (which is currently an outtie) that was caused from the lines that were run through the opening where the umblilical cord came off in the NICU. Micah has the sweetest little voice (his non-screaming voice) and the cutest laugh. We can't wait until more of his little personality begins to shine through! He doesn't have as much hair as he did when he was born (except a small patch that is long on the top of his head) but he seems to be hanging on to that beautiful strawberry-blond color!
