Baby Shower Version 3.0

I haven't gotten the time to post on this yet; sorry for the delay. Two weeks ago my friend/neighbor Jill threw me a delightful shower! The theme was, "A Star is Born."


Jill and our friend Tracy made this wonderful cake!! Micah was kind of crabby during the shower (more to come on his crabbiness in a later post), but I had a wonderful time! It was good to see friends and we got lots of nice gifts! Here is Jill, our great hostess (who is soon to have a little boy of her own).

Here are our good friends the Louks: Mara, Joy (holding Micah), Kaitlyn, and Annie.


Thanks again ladies for all the great gifts and and a wonderful afternoon!

Success

Last night, I put Micah in his crib fully awake, with no pacifier, and he put HIMSELF to sleep! Better yet, he slept for 6 hours straight. Yea!!

Smile!

We got our first REAL smile from Micah tonight. I say "real" because it lasted long enough for me to take several pictures (rather than just a passing smile from gas or something ~ we've gotten some of those so far).

It's hard to believe he'll be a month old tomorrow. Kedron and I agree that he looks different (older) today than he did yesterday!

Belated Kudos

I forgot to announce the winner of the "Guess That Baby" contest from the earlier post. Congrats to Mr. Mark Safly who guessed we'd have a boy on August 25th! Yea Marky Mark!

I should also mention that, at a baby shower in July, my Aunt Barb guessed that we'd have a boy on August 25th, and the weight would be 7 lbs 8 oz. Micah's weight was 7 lbs 7 oz! Barb, maybe I should get you to buy me a lottery ticket!!

What it's like to be a dad

While I was feeding Micah tonight, Kedron walked in the nursery and exclaimed, "I just realized I've been walking around with poop on my hand!" He explained that he noticed some mustard-yellow stains on his hand, and that they had probably been there for an hour or so. He had also just finished eating dinner. . . and serving up my food too!

Ahh, the joys of fatherhood!
