And They're In

Micah has been grabbing his feet for awhile now. He has been trying to get them to his mouth, tugging and pulling (even a few grunts). About four days ago he was successful. Now he does it so easily it is like he has been doing it for weeks. He is able to get his feet to his mouth better without pants. So these days he doesn't often wear them, I just keep him by the fire to ensure he stays warm. The feet are now great fun and and an always accessible toy. As soon as I lay him down he pulls up his legs, grabs his feet and pulls them straight to his mouth.



In the video you see C helping him. We don't have to do that, we just did for the video because naturally when we were trying to get it on film Micah was more interested in his hands

Op Sec

C just got back from a leadership training course with the national guard. As part of it he went through op sec (operational security). Even though he is not active he is still part of the military and one day could be activated. He told me I should not use his name here. So from now on he will just be referred to as C, unless I come up with a name for him like Pioneer Woman does for Marlboro Man, her husband. I also would ask in comments you please refer to him as C other wise I will have to remove the comment. Thank you!

365 Part XI

Here is the next batch. There are a few days I need some help eliminating some.


Day 86...one of these needs to go, I'm having a hard time deciding between the two that are farther away. The one where he is not looking at the camera seems like the logical one, but it does capture how he is sometimes.

4 Months

Wow! I have a four month old. Why am I surprised each month that another one has past, how big Micah is getting and how fast the time has gone by? And it will only go by faster. As each month goes by it is a reminder to me to check that I am cherishing these times. Not just going through the day caring for Micah and completing the to-do list. But really observing him, nurturing him, committing to memory this time, being thankful for His gifts and treasuring all these things as Mary did.


Micah at 4 months is about 14lbs. 10oz., we haven't had his official 4 month appointment yet so I don't know for sure. But that is pretty close, I was able to weigh him when we went to visit Aunt Stephanie at work. Some things Micah is doing now...laughing, grabbing his feet (and trying to get them to his mouth), talking quiet a bit, he is very interested in toys now and tries to grab them when he sees them, he enjoys jumping, and enjoys baths (not too much splashing yet).
