On the Move!

One of Jed's work colleagues generously gave us a bike trailer for Micah which we tried out last weekend. He seems to be a big fan already...well, he better be if he's going to be in this family!




Micah was pretty focused on chewing on the safety straps the whole time.


Look who else got to come along for the ride! Copley wasn't so sure...

Baby Mum-Mums!

Now that Micah has some chompers poking through, it's time to start (sloooowly) introducing the concept of chewing. So, we've spent a little time exploring the wonders of Baby Mum-Mums. I think the pictures speak for themselves...












In other food related updates...carrots seem to be successful! And, he's warmed up to green beans and pears. Bananas we manage to hide in cereal or with the beloved sweet potato and he doesn't seem to mind. We're just taking a nice long break from avocado!

TEETH!

So all of that gnawing, gnashing and drooling over the past 3 or 4 months has finally resulted in the expected - a tooth! Two of them, to be exact. Micah is sprouting his two, bottom middle teeth and has been a champ. Now that they are through the gums, we think the worst is over (until the next ones come in, anyway!). To celebrate, we're starting the healthy eating right away.


In other food related news, Micah has added to his nutrition repertoire: Bananas, Avocado, Pears and Green Beans. And, I am happy to report that he pretty much detests all of them. He actually gagged when we tried the avocado. Perhaps he just wants to go straight for the guacamole. Who could blame him? For now, Sweet Potatoes it is and we'll try, try again!

Happy Easter!

Hope everyone enjoyed the holiday weekend! It was pretty cold up here but we still managed some family adventures including a family jog this morning followed by a delicious brunch at our favorite Slates. Here are some more giggles to brighten your day!

It's a Gigglefest!

The Micah laughs have been abundant around here these days - they just aren't easy to capture on film! Primarily because you don't want to miss any to go grab a camera. But, I did manage to catch a few little ones yesterday that are just too cute not to share. And, you can obviously tell the source of most of Micah's enjoyment. Who knew Copley was so hilarious?!
