1 month


It's been one month since precious Micah joined our family!  It has been a wonderful month full of lots of snuggling, singing lullabies, sweet nursing times, and watching a special relationship develop between brother and sister.



We went to the doctor for his 1-month checkup, and everything was perfect!  He weighed 9 lb. 10 oz. (50th percentile) and was 22.25 inches long (75th percentile).  He is a great eater and is sleeping pretty well too.  Some things he likes:
- His changing table pad:  Just like Madi, he'll talk and kick and squirm the whole time he's getting his diaper changed!  In fact, I've even started carrying the changing pad to different rooms around the house while I'm cleaning so he can stretch out and be content!
-Snuggling on my chest:  He loves cuddling with me and lying on my chest to go to sleep!  That's the way he falls asleep 90% of the time!
-Hearing his big sister sing:  Madi is so sweet and will sing to him when he is fussy.  His favorite seems to be "You Are My Sunshine", but she occasionally breaks out some "Jesus Loves Me" or "This Little Light of Mine".  Melts my heart when she starts singing to calm him down!
Things he dislikes:
-Baths (most of the time):  He is usually pretty content until we start washing his hair.
-His carseat:  He does NOT like his carseat at all, and it makes traveling very difficult at this time.  I really think he gets too hot in it and then gets uncomfortable and mad.  We're praying this gets better soon!

We love our precious boy and can't imagine life without him!  We are so blessed!

That is little doll is so adorable!! Bless his heart, we may have to get a fan to go in front of his car seat! Neena doesn't like to be hot either!! It is so precious that Madi sings to him. She loves her little brother!! Precious kids!!
