Dallas Zoo

Last week my whole family took a trip to the zoo! We had a blast! Last time the Thompson's were here we took our THREE kids to the Fort Worth Zoo. This time we had SIX kids to tote around!

Easter 2012

Wow! In the 3-4 years I've been doing this blog I've NEVER gone two months without posting anything! It was a much needed break as life has been a bit chaotic but I will do my best to resume regular posting as this blog is serving as our family scrapbook! I just recently got in our second book...I've printed 2009 and 2010 and am hoping to work on 2011 when they have another blog book sale! :) I have also noticed that the more kids you have the harder it is to have a free hand to take pictures! But, please continue coming back as I will be adding a few posts to try and catch up the last couple of months!

The Thompsons are back in the states! Woo Hoo! They came home at the end of February and we got to enjoy several weeks with them. They recently left for Michigan for a few weeks to spend some time with Matthew's family!

We had a wonderful Easter this year! We participated in the church Easter egg hunt, which was fun, but short! We also enjoyed a wonderful service that evening. On Easter Sunday, we had lunch at MiMi and Grandy's followed by another egg hunt for the kiddos. It started to sprinkle on us as they began their hunt but thankfully we got it done before the rain got too bad!

 Seeing what the Easter bunny brought!

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! :)
