Micah had his two week check up on Friday and it went great!
Of course, the most important thing, and greatest highlight, is that he is perfectly healthy and doing everything he should be doing as a whopping two week old.
That said, the number two highlight was a real close second. As is the case with many medical appointments, Micah had to take his clothes and diaper off before things could begin. After we waited for a few minutes for Micah to do this he was still clothed so dad stepped in to assist. I took off his onesie - a cute plane, train, and automobile number (yes, "cute" is a much more frequent invader of my vocal patterns than ever before), removed his diaper, and announced him ready. The nurse stepped forward to measure him and do some other intake things. She proclaimed his cuteness and moved in for a closer look. Just as she leaned over his chiseled (envious) 21 inch body he started peeing all over the place. It was as if you could hear him exclaim, "Release the hounds!", and the hounds were his pee.
Rookie mistake . . .
The nurse was flustered. She recovered fine. Brynn chuckled. I was proud. I went for the fist bump, but Micah wasn't quite ready for the pound.
love to all.

Ah...to be completely oblivious to anything but basic needs. What a simple life.
