Napping…

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

Now that I have firmly acclimated to life without naps, my children have spontaneously starting napping again.

I am having a little bit of trouble adjusting. I am struggling to figure out a good way to get some of my chores done, when the kids aren’t waking up until almost dinner time. Since they stay up later, I don’t have time in the evenings to unwind, plan for the next day, blog…

But, that time in the evenings means we can have spontaneous trips to the library

Happy Fourth of July!

Saturday, July 4th, 2009

Today, Micah is 6 months old. Like all mothers, I can’t believe the he has grown so old, so fast.

He was born at home, with his brother and sister here to welcome him. He was a laid back little boy, and had a little trouble gaining weight, because he didn’t want to wake up and eat.

Now he is off the charts for both weight and height. He is a happy little boy, and he loves to smile at people. He is trying so hard to learn to crawl; he knows that there’s a better way to move around, but he can’t quite figure out how to coordinate the arms and legs. He likes to play with anything he can find, and he can roll or scoot himself where he wants to go. He has added so much to our family already, I am excited to see how he grows and changes over the years.
