Me: Isaiah, why don't you have your pajamas on yet?
Isaiah: I dunno. Cuz I'm a gangster.

Isaiah sat down and let one rip...

Brotherly Love 03

Can we say ADORABLE?!?

Micah Firsts

This morning I realized Micah's hair had grown out enough in the back that he looked like he was sporting a mullet....despite the fact that his hair is so light and fine. So, he got his first little hair trim. :( At least he doesn't look like a redneck wannabe anymore!

Sometimes, These Things Happen

He eventually found it....and ate it.

Conversations with Isaiah 04.007

Isaiah fell while "destructing the snow" on our way back from the mailbox today. Since he didn't have any gloves on, his hands went directly in the snow. The rest of the way back went something like this:

"My haaaands are soooo cooooold! They huuuuuuurt! Owwwwwwwww! They are KILLING me! Owwwwwww! My haaaaaaands huuuuuuuurt! Help me, Mommy! It's the eeeeend of the wooooorld!"

I felt bad laughing at what he was saying when he his hands were so cold.....

Nap time

Micah @ 11 Months

Eleven months already!

Since last month Micah's really gotten into the walking thing. It's what he wants to do ALL.THE.TIME. Problem being, he isn't independently walking yet so we have to walk in circles in the tiny apartment to keep him happy. He sure doesn't seem to mind, just grabs our hands, walks from one thing to the next to grab on or bang on, and when he's done puts his hand up so we can walk him to the next thing. He's staaaaaarting to stand on his own, getting his balance just right and then letting go of our hands. It lasts a bit, not quite a minute...but he's getting there. In the past few days he's also gotten good enough that he can walk around holding just one finger, it's so cute to be walking around next to him like he's just holding my hand...it doesn't seem like he will need that much longer.

I think Micah is also trying to get up on his own. He has ended up on his face every time so far, but he's determined to stand if someone isn't willing to walk him around. Maybe if he used some furniture to help it would go better for him, but he tries to get his feet under him in the middle of the room. Not working so well (yet!)

Micah has suddenly really dropped the nursing. He's almost completely down to nap time and bed time....almost overnight. He's drinking whole milk at meals. Not so interested in juice so far. Will try (and eat) just about ANYTHING. I'm still really surprised that he eats TACO MEAT with us! It's not like we get anything super spicy because Isaiah eats it, but it was still more spices than I expected him to be okay with. He LOVES anything with chicken. We've also started letting him try the potential allergens. Peanut butter is fine. Strawberry flavored puffs are okay. He's had fish, too. No troubles so far.

In just the past few nights, Micah has decided he's deathly afraid of bath time. I don't know if this is related to me accidentally turning the shower on to fill up the tub the other night, or something else entirely. Strangely enough, he's FINE when Isaiah is in the bathroom but if he leaves (or gets out of the tub first) tears and screaming. Not even kidding.

Also, I thought Micah was getting his sixth tooth the other day due to incredible amounts of drool and fussiness...but nothing appeared so I suppose that's not happening yet.

I can't believe this boy will be A YEAR in just a few more weeks!

Conversations with Isaiah 04.006

When Isaiah started taking his shirt off for bath time tonight he suddenly yelled "Oh, yeah...here comes the party!"

Conversations with Isaiah 04.005

Me: I want Taco Bell for dinner.
Isaiah: Okay!
Me: We don't have the money for it...
Isaiah: I have money! I have LOTS of money. I can have Taco Bell. But you don't get any because you don't have any money.

Conversations with Isaiah 04.004

"Look, Mommy. I'm holding (Micah) like you feed him" Sure enough, Micah was laying across Isaiah's lap with his head toward his chest.....

I guess we have a fascination with breasts today.

Conversations with Isaiah 04.003

"Look! He has boobs!"

Conversations with Isaiah 04.002

I was pretending to be Isaiah's sock monkey, who was sick...

Isaiah: What's the matter Sock Monkey?
Me: I don't know! You tell me.
Isaiah: Let's take your temperature.
Me: Okay...
Isaiah: Forty point one!
Me: Uhoh, I'm in trouble!

Conversations With Isaiah 04.001

I heard Isaiah start crying downstairs when I was up changing Micah's diaper....

Me: What happened, Buddy?
Isaiah: I hurt myself...
Me: How?
Isaiah: On the table.
Me: What were you doing?
Isaiah: Being a ninja.....

Leaving Facebook

I have decided to (at least temporarily) leave Facebook due to the fact that I seem to constantly see shared posts and pictures that upset me. Since there are a few of you who still want to keep up with what Isaiah's saying and pictures of my adorable boys, I am starting this blog to keep it all together. Feel free to "sign up" or whatever you do here. Please excuse me while I figure this place out. I will keep this blog strictly to stories and pictures of the family. I hope you enjoy!

Also, just for the record I may attempt to post date some posts in an attempt to keep everything together. So there's that.

Irony

We drove past our old house today and I'm pretty sure there was a Lexus parked in the driveway. The SAME type of car that ran Ruff over just before Thanksgiving, only a different color. SO freaking strange!

Umm, Ewwwww

Want to know what can gross you out more than a 4 year old sneezing egg all over you? Finding a tiny piece of that egg in the bottom of your coffee cup.

Feeding Ruff

Well, Micah has started feeding the dog. As in, he looks for Ruff (who is always close when Micah is eating) and throws food OFF THAT SIDE of his chair.

Attack of the Pirate Ship

Isaiah came running downstairs the other night and told me something sad had happened. I had just heard Micah REALLY upset upstairs (Jeremy was with them) and asked him what had happened. He told me Micah had been sitting up, had reached for Isaiah's pirate ship and had tipped forward getting his poor head stuck BETWEEN THE TWO SAILS! Too bad I didn't see it...you KNOW I would have run for the camera.

For the record...the culprit looks like this:
