No Words.... Enjoy

Food and Fun

Very eventful week, to say the least. Micah is beginning to teeth really bad. He started over the weekend getting really fussy and not sleeping very long. Teething tablets were mine and Micah's best friend for a few days. For some reason, they would calm him down enough to sleep every now and then. The strangest thing was when he would wake it would be bloody 'hell'. He would wake from a dead sleep and scream so loud. I felt horrible that I couldn't make him feel any better.

Due to all of this screaming he is now hoarse. Very odd, but he didn't scream that much. He isn't a crier anyway so I guess his little voice box couldn't handle very much.

In the evenings we are trying to get Micah to eat a little cereal with a spoon. Now remember, he is doing great with his veggies and fruits during the day. He LOVES sweet potato's, green beans, peas and banana's (so far) and HATES carrots. The picture below is what he thought of cereal with banana's! HA He figured he would just feed it to himself. Nice right?

So I have read in a few books that he is almost ready to begin the sippy cup. (begin? yeah right, this may take awhile) I decided one evening to give one to him to see what he would do. He actually did pretty well. He can hold onto the handle and bring it up to his mouth. Of course, the only thing he wants to do with it is chew on it but at least he knows where it goes. Or is that just because EVERYTHING is going into his mouth??

He got a little tired and decided to give it a break. He was pretty aggravated with it since nothing was coming out. With time I'm sure he will do fine.

On a trip to Wal-mart I came across Christmas hats! I couldn't pass them up, especially when they had a size to fit the little man. This is going to be so great for our pictures Debra is going to come take on Sunday for us. (I want a family picture and I just can't do it myself with no tri-pod) I will post some of her pictures next week, hopefully.

Micah says 'I want You!'

Fun-filled weekend! I have another Tastefully Simple party on Saturday, Debra is coming to take our pictures on Sunday, Scott and I are going out for our anniversary (can you believe it's been 2 years?) then on Monday Micah gets his 6 month pictures taken in Summersville at Images by Romano! yay

I've been tagged....

to tell 6 random things about myself! Here is goes:



1. Our cat, Smokey, was Scott's before we even meet! He is now 'my' cat though, he sleeps on my side of the bed and comes to me whenever he needs something. He only goes to Scott when he wants to attack something, like Scott's forearm!



2. I didn't have a cavity until I was getting ready to go to college!



3. If I get on full-time with the school board as a secretary, there is no use for me to go back to school to finish my degree. (only ups my pay by like $2.00 a day) At least I see no need in it.



4. I am the second oldest of the grandchildren from my dad's side (there are 11) and the youngest from my mother's side (there are 4 of us)



5. Even before I got to the hospital to have Micah, I always had a thought in the back of my head that I would end up having a c-section! My thought ended up being right.



6. I am horribly afraid of getting into a serious car accident. I am always watching out for other drivers.

Carrots & Gaming!

Micah is starting to eat foods! YAY So far he has had Sweet Potatoes (he LOVES) Carrots (not so much) and bananas. Well you can guess if he loves bananas or not ;) Kathy, our great babysitter has been helping out and feeding Micah once a day. I didn't believe her when she said he would open wide for food. Until I was feeding him this week. We were on Carrots and he opened wide but then spit it right back out. He did this the whole time. Needless to say he made a mess, as you can see in the picture below!

Micah enjoy sitting on your lap while watching TV or Bandit run around the room. One evening after his bath he was sitting on his daddies lap while Scott played a football game. This is what I walked into a few minutes later. Scott giving Micah lessons on how to tackle and pump fake! We believe the reason Micah really liked the controller is because of the little light that is right at the top! Whatever pleases the little man is fine by me, as long as it doesn't cause any harm.

Nana and Paw paw Myers are coming in for Thanksgiving so I am sure we will have more pictures to show you after this week! Hope everyone has a fun & safe holiday!

Bad Blogger

Yes yes I know, I am such a bad blogger. To make it up to you, I have new Micah pictures! Along with a few others.

Halloween was a great experience with Micah, he loved his little outfit (pictures to come, I'm sorry) Everyone just ooohed and aaahed over him.

Micah is starting to reach for things. We have also noticed that he loves to follow objects, mostly Bandit, around. He also loves his little jumper. He will sit in that thing, jump up and down and play with the toys for close to an hour now. He will get so tickled with himself that he has to catch his breath, it's so cute.

Here is a cute picture, he is getting scared easier these days:

A few weekends ago, Scott & I went to Babcock State Park. It was a beautiful early fall day and I got some great pictures. Old Old Crist Mill is just a great place to take pictures and a great West Virginia landmark! The sun was alittle in the way but I made it work. Also, I wish we would have gone just a week early, the fall leaves would have been in full bloom and not on the ground.

Note: So I am back to work at Interior Concepts, but I am also still a sub-secretary with the schools. Hopefully it won't take too long to get on full-time! We can only pray.

Almost Heaven.....

West Virginia!

Scott and I have been going around our beautiful state and taking some great pictures at the parks. While I was pregnant we went to Grandview National Park and Little Beaver State Park on a chilly day to take some pictures. (The same day my cousin had her baby Lucas)

Since it is staying pretty here in October we decided to go to the New River Bridge and take some pictures. Before this bridge was built it took 40 minutes to an hour to drive down the gorge and back up, now that time has been cut to 40 seconds. The bridge is the highest vehicular bridge in the Americas, and second-highest in the world. It's beautiful during any time of the year. I can't wait to go back and take more pictures while the leaves are changing.

4 Months? Seriously?

Micah is already 4 months old and we can't believe it. 1.) I can't believe it was over 4 months ago that I was in the hospital and he didn't want to enter this world. 2.) I can't believe it has been over 4 months since the last day I was working full-time. 3.) I can't believe it was over 1 year ago when I found out I was pregnant with him. How time flies!

He growing like a little bean sprout.... already 16 lbs and 25 inches long. (Yes, 16 lbs.... I know he is a big boy, everyone that sees him tells me! ha) 4 Months old and is wearing 6-9 month clothing. Great huh?

One of his favorite places is on the floor with his tunnel. Not only Micah but Bandit also loves the tunnel. I have to keep my eye on Bandit now.... I couldn't help but take this picture before I got Bandit out of the tunnel. Every now and then Micah will decide to try and roll from his back to his stomach but it seems he scares himself and doesn't go all the way. I am waiting for the day when he finally makes his move and flips right over.

Job Update: Since I passed all the tests to become a sub-secretary with the school board I have been called out 1 time. Hopefully it will pick up so I can get my seniority and get a full-time job soon!
