Oh Micah!!!

Micah is in a phase right now where he either likes to say hi to everyone he sees or else when someone says hi to him he just looks at them and says "NO" (which by the way may possibly be his favorite word!). Well yesterday while grocery shopping at Meijer may have been the only time I wished he was in one of his "NO" moods as opposed to saying hi to everyone. He not only wanted to say hi but he wanted to say 'hi man" or "hi lady". Ok well no problem except when he gets it wrong. We walked by a heavy-set middle age woman with a really short hair cut and Micah blurts out "hi boy". She said hi and I was just hoping she didn't actually catch what he said. I told him he should just say hi and didn't need to say boy or man or lady hoping to avoid this issue. Well, of course not...you know how you get on the same shopping path as someone and keep seeing them in every aisle. Of course this was the case and we passed this lady in the next aisle to which Micah again said "hi boy" and again in the next aisle "hi boy". She just kept smiling and saying hi so I am really hoping she didn't hear/understand what he said but I felt bad. Oh Micah! :)

Fun day with daddy

Corey will often have evening meetings and even some Saturdays that he has to work. However, he is able to take time off during the week to compensate. So last week he took a day off and we had a fun morning at the park, at the kids museum, and going out to lunch! I am so thankful he is SUCH an awesome dad! :)

This boy loves his trucks!!!!

So you can imagine how THRILLED he was when we spent Easter Sunday with my extended family in Allegan at my uncles who owns a trucking company!!!

Adelyn at 3 months

Ok so I missed the 2 month picture....guess that is what happens with the second child, right?

Here are her 2 month stats:

Weight:11 lb 1.5 oz (52%)

Height:22" (30%)

HC: 15" (27%)

Adelyn is a sweet little girl. After a rough transition the first few months (well a lot of that was due to Micah's sleep issues) things are definitely going much smoother. Yes, it takes more time and more planning to do just about everything but thats ok. I wouldn't say that Adelyn has a set schedule but definitely a pattern she follows. She eats about every 2 1/2 hrs. She has even taken a bottle a few times which is great and allows me to have a little flexibility (or even Corey and I to go on dates w/o feeling quit so tied to the clock). She is sleeping pretty well too....atleast I think so. Lately I have been able to get her down around 9pm and she'll usually do about a 7 hr stretch (8hrs was her longest stretch), eat, then sleep till about 8 or 9 am. Now that is a good night, on a not so great night she'll be up twice, still not horrible though. She goes back down for a nap 1 hr after she wakes up for the morning and then will stay awake during the day for periods of 1 1/2 hrs then back down for a nap. Her first 2 naps are usually in her carseat as the mornings are usually when we get out. She really likes to nap in her swing. I'm starting to try and get her to nap in her bed when we are home though. She is sleeping at night in her crib (she has been since about 1 month as I just cannot sleep with her in our room). Most nights she will fall asleep on her own....though not usually w/o crying. Her evenings still tend to be her fussy time...though much better than when she was a newborn. Otherwise, she is a good baby. I know people will ask if she an easy or hard baby. I would say in the middle I guess. Micah loves his little sister. He always likes to get her when she wakes up in the morning and likes to lay in her crib with her. He likes to "watch" her while I go get diapers or something like that (I can only leave them unattended for about 3 seconds!). He also likes to play with her...well as much as a 3 month old can play. He is usually pretty good with her...though I probably tell him 20 times a day to be gentle and that he needs to take good care of his baby sister! :) I'm sure we'll be telling him that for years to come. She is a sweet girl and we are so thankful she is a part of our family.

Really?!?!?!?!?!?

Micah loves looking at the pics on my blog. We came across this picture today and I asked him what was in my stomach. He matter-of- factly replied "food" Haha!
