LA Zoo with Linnea

We had a great time with Linnea at the zoo. It was both Micah and Linnea's first time there. Although it was crowded, the weather was really nice. The animals were out and moving around which is always nice to see. When will meet up again???

Chanukah!

We celebrated the last night of Chanukah at Bubbe's with the Reno Rubins. We were so excited that we could celebrate with everyone... the food was great, the company was wonderful, and the game of the night was not Dreidel but Backgammon! Uncle Steve brought his set and we were all obsessed (Jawsh and I even have it on our iphones now). When will we see them again???

Merry Christmas

Micah's first Christmas at Harabujee and Halmoni's house was filled with family, fun, and two toddlers going nuts over Thomas the Train. Micah was asleep most of the time but Noah and Kaitlyn were full of energy and loved all the attention. What will it be like next year when Micah is one???

Merry Christmas Eve

Uncle Bill surprised Kaitlyn and Noah with their very own Thomas the Tank Engine ride! How is Billy going to top this next year???

Happy Chanukah!

We are starting a new tradition to celebrate a night of Chanukah with the Shields, especially since Micah and Kyre are best friends. It was a great time of showing off babies, eating homemade latkes (thanks Jawsh), and lighting candles. Next year we celebrate at Jay's place... will his latkes taste better???

Happy Birthday Linnea

Today we celebrated Linnea's 1st birthday. Micah slept while Linnea crab-walked (you have to see it to understand) towards Noah throughout the party. We have been trying to get the kids together to take a trip to the zoo... (Joel) when is that going to happen???

Daycare?

I am so blessed to have the option to take the boys with me to the daycare at my work. I went back to school to introduce Micah to my first grade students while Noah spent time with Phelan in the nursery. Noah did okay for awhile but started to cry when he wanted to leave and when he realized that we were not there! How long will it take for him to adjust???

Vegas baby, baby, and baby

We went to Las Vegas with my brother, Michelle, and Kaitlyn and a few of his friends. We had a great time introducing Noah and Micah to my aunts and uncles. Although there is not much to do in Vegas with a toddler we did manage to go to the Mandalay Bay Shark Reef and of course a trip to my uncle's Baskin Robbins shop. Uncle Bill only lets special customers try all 31 flavors and Noah was well on his way, but we had to be good parents and stop him. I wonder what flavor Noah will like when he gets older???

A glowing breast?

When Micah is fussy Jawsh likes to show him the light in the hall and Micah usually calms down pretty quickly. At first I thought, "oh he likes the light," but Jawsh thinks it resembles a woman's breast! Would you agree???

2 months!

Micah had his two month check up. He is in the 90-95th percentile in height and weight, and in the 70th percentile for head circumference (Noah had a bigger noggin when he was that age). He also got his first set of immunizations and he cried and screamed so much, I cried with him! How will we handle his next appointment???
