Another day in the snow

It is so beautiful today. The sun is shining and the snow is starting to melt. We're supposed to get another 10-15 tonight.

I took the kids out to play in the snow. Micah liked it at first, but then wasn't such a fan when he tried to move around in his enormous snow suit. As you can tell, it's an old one of Naomi's. We will have to get him one, but this was fine for today.

Happy boy (dressed like a girl) in the snow.
Naomi found this chunk of snow that she insisted on carrying home.

Snow, snow, snow!

Jamin had the day off today (not because of the snow, he just took a day off). It is always such a treat to have Jamin home on a week day!

Here are a couple of pics of the snow we have. Naomi was excited to get out and "help" Jamin shovel. We hadn't bought a snowsuit for her yet, but I remembered today that I had one for Micah (someone gave it to us as a gift). It's size 3, so Naomi might as well wear it too! She was so excited that Micah let her borrow it :)

Some recent happenings...

Life is busy as always, and I wanted to get some pics up to show some of what we've been up to lately.

First a couple of pics from a Halloween party that Jamin & I went to. Can you guess what we were? (it was probably the lamest costume there... I'll give you a hint in case you get stuck. On my back there is the letter P and on Jamin's an S.)

We have also gotten to visit with some family lately. Jonny & Holly were here the other weekend and we also saw Peter that weekend.Finally a couple of pics of the kiddies. We are enjoying the family life and feel so blessed to have these beautiful children.

Naomi says her ABC`s

Naomi has recently taken a big interest in letters. She knows most of her letters and for some she knows a word or name that starts with the letter. She loves singing the alphabet song and we think it`s pretty cute. She`s pretty proud of herself!

Micah @ 9 months

Micah is 9 months old now! The time is passing so quickly. Micah's first year seems to be going by much faster than Naomi's did.

We had his dr.'s appointment last night. Here are his measurements:

Height: 73 cm (29 inches) 69th percentile
Weight: 19.84lbs 40 percentile
Head: 45.5 cm 57th percentile

-He has been crawling since he was 6.5 months old. He started with the "army" crawl, but not too long after switched to regular crawling.
-He still sleeps through the night. What a blessing!! He takes two naps a day. Both are usually 1-1.5 hours.
-He pulls up and stands against furniture, etc. and is just starting to take a couple of small steps while holding on to things. He can also go easily from crawling to sitting.
-He can clap his hands and puts his arms up to be picked up.
-He likes peek-a-boo and a select few books.
-He loves Naomi. They love to wrestle and "play" together. He especially loves pulling her hair and getting into her toys. Usually she is fairly good to share, but not always.
-No teeth yet and still not that much drooling.
-He still spits up sometimes. Yuck.
-His hair is slowly starting to come in. I think it will be curly too.
-He went through a stage of crying when I left the room, left him at the nursery, etc., but that has lessened some.
-He is a super eater. He'll eat pretty much anything. He loves feeding himself and is quite good at it. He is also still nursing.
-He doesn't show as much favoritism towards me as Naomi did at this age. He is just as willing to go to Jamin.

Micah continues to be a pretty easy going baby. We love him soooo much!

Merry Christmas to me!

This is what I asked Mom & Dad to get me for Christmas: a drawer organizer. I REALLY LIKE IT! You might want to get one. They installed it when they were here a couple of weekends back.
