Beat the heat!

Who says you can't enjoy a humid 90 degree day or two? Oh, the joys of summer!

The Wheels on the Bus...

While we patiently wait for spring to arrive (there is a distinct possibility it might actually be here!), we have decided to unleash Micah's inner artist. He still eats crayons (I'm pretty certain he knows he's not supposed to munch them because he looks directly at us with that furbo twinkle as he goes to take a bite) but we've had great success with markers, watercolors and paint. Here is our mini-Matisse adding his personal touch to his school bus.

A leetle here...

And a leetle there

Oui! C'est Magnifique!

Our boy is wicked smart...just ask his shirt.

This is the life...

How could you not love spending your days with these two?

Photo Rewind: Micah's First Haircut

We have oodles of backlogged pictures - many of which are just too cute to not share. I have been seriously delinquent in the posting department so hopefully we'll get back on track with these gems.

A couple months ago, we took Micah to get his first official haircut. Micah was a champ but Jeanine was the true star - patient, sweet and very good at providing entertainment with a variety of hair accessories. She also respected our wishes to keep his hair slightly longer - we just weren't ready to say goodbye to those baby curls. Micah only got squirmy towards the end and Jeanine was able to finish the 'do by trimming practically upside down while I held Micah in my arms. Impressive! Enjoy the fashion photo shoot!

I like this big mirror! I look goooood!

Here, let me just help you clip that hair up.

The combing was nice but what's with those scissors?

Hmmm...What is happening?

I look hideous!

Micah, can you show me a happy face?

Every single time....

Sometimes I just don't know where he gets these ideas

The Play Dough Chronicles

Hurrah! Micah can now enjoy his play dough without trying to eat it (he quickly discovered that it does NOT taste good). Thanks to Pop and Gigi, Micah now has his very own table for arts & crafts, sensory play and snack time. Our plan is to eventually move it into the kitchen so he can have his own little corner but for now he is enjoying it immensely right where it is. The first time he saw it, he immediately said "Micah sit!"  

Micah's current favorite play dough request is "Teeny Tiny?", which translates into Mom rolling little tiny play dough balls that he then 'smooshes' with his fingers. For some toddler reason, this brings on the giggles. Fortunately, it's an easy request to fulfill! Here he is with some 'teeny-tinies'...
