Last night we were getting Micah ready for bed and I grabbed the camera and we took about 1,000 pictures of our fun time. (Fun time is when mom & dad & baby play before bed. This can, but does not always, include Family Dance Hour.) I condensed the number of photos down a bit for a slide show for your viewing pleasure. There are some cuties of Micah and also some funny faces if you catch them. Oh - and the throwing pictures - it looks like Kevin is throwing him a lot higher than he was - I was lying on the floor taking the pictures. :)

Oh HAPPY Day!
Again I'm crying ridiculously large amounts of tears of JOY in front of the computer! (The dogs are worried about me :) I am so (SOOOO) happy to announce that Jessie from The Making of a Mom is a mama! She has been through a rough journey to motherhood but has consistently shown amazing strength and courage. I couldn't be happier that the day has finally arrived. Go look at her cutie and congratulate her! I'm off to cry some more happy tears! :)

Egg Party
Tonight we had an Egg Party - to dye Easter eggs for the Easter Bunny (who I'm convinced is a girl, by the way). My sister and her boys are in town - home from Costa Rica - and soon to be back home in the Pacific NW. The Neighbors also came up for the party. Gracie was the photographer this evening (as usual). I will let the photos tell the story...
Gracie's Self Portrait
Micah in his Chicks Dig Me t-shirt. A birthday present that I thought was appropriate for the evening's festivities.
We set up all the table for the egg dying - complete with dye-proof tablecloth. I know - I'm always so fancy, right?
Kevin hearts egg dying.
So does my sis.
My sister is holding up a #1 here because I told her that her egg was ugly and she said that I was just jealous because her egg is #1. Oh, yes, we are sisters. I know you can tell from how much we look alike too.
The Punk Rock Egg. Can you get more punk-rock than an egg that literally says, "Punk Rock Egg"?
Almost finished... We dyed 4 dozen eggs total.
And this next picture has got to be my favorite of the evening. You just never know what you're going to get when you hand Gracie the camera...
Happy Easter Y'all!

Spoon Man
Micah has decided that it is way cooler to feed himself than to have mom or dad help out. So, today I equipped him with his own bowl of yogurt and a spoon and let him go. Here are the results...
I think we need more practice. :)

Micah's Been Tagged!
Since Micah is feeling so much better, he is going to take over and respond to being tagged by cute-as-can-be Tiny.
Ten Random Things about Me (Micah):
1. My newest obsession is opening drawers. I don't really like to pull stuff out of them, but I like to hide stuff inside of them. If my binky is missing and it is naptime, you should look in the bottom drawer in the kitchen (where the towels are) to find it.
2. I LOVE my dogs so much. I like to sneak up on them, which never works. My mom says it's because I shouldn't scream in delight as I am sneaking up, but that's half the fun. Pedro lets me get him and he is my favorite because he is little.
3. I really do love to read. I like it when my mom gives me a basket of books to sit and look at. I take one out, turn the pages and talk to the book (actually I'm reading it but mom says I'm talking to it - whatever). This can keep me busy for a good 15 minutes on what mom and dad call a "good day."
4. I am a really awesome dancer. My best move is the one-arm sway in my highchair. I do this especially well during the 20 second musical interludes on boring NPR that mom listens to at lunch. I always hear the music and sway. When the music is really rocking, I kick my feet and flap my arms - that is my second best move.
5. I am a screamer now. I like to squeal and scream. A lot.
6. I have a cool new trick - when you ask me where my hair is - I will grab my head. (And you really, really should clap when I do this.) But, don't ask me where anything else is because I don't know yet.
7. I have a temper. Mom & dad give each other looks when I throw a fit but I keep going anyway. Usually though I get distracted by something and forget about my fit. Unless I am really mad - then forget it.
8. I love drinking my bottles before naps and bedtime. In fact, I even wake mom up in the middle of the night for one - that's how much I love them. I hear mom & dad talking about how I will have to give them up someday. No way.
9. I really love to watch the videos at Noggin.com. Mom says they saved her during our recent stay at the hospital (which was icky by the way). They make me laugh. I love that silly Moose & Zee.
10. I like to get attention when we are out shopping. At the market and Target I like to yell at people until they look at me and say "hi." Some of them even come over and tell me how cute I am, which is fun because then I can smile at them. This always makes my mom laugh.
Well, there you have it. Micah would like to tag Mari, Mamush, Silas T, Boomer (if his mom has time), Minnow, and Pacey
(I should add - Kevin and I are feeling better! YAYAY! I think this nasty virus is finally gone! We finally ate regular food today! Kevin made me risotto with chicken for dinner - he is one good man!)

Feeling Better
Just wanted to let everyone know that Micah is still doing great. No more ickies and he is HUNGRY and wants to eat normal food again! (No more BRAT diet - bananas, rice, applesauce, toast - it is recommended for tummy problems.) We're so happy that he's feeling better - thanks again to everyone for thinking of him and saying prayers!
That's the good news... the bad news is that now Kevin and I have it. ICKY. My dad came over and picked Micah up so that we could relax for the evening. (I should be resting right now, or so says my husband :)
I've tried to get some fun pictures of Mic feeling better, but he's not been a good subject lately. Here he is last night after bath (which is naked playtime :)
You can tell (or I can) that he lost a bit of weight throughout his ordeal. He looks so skinny! Don't worry - he's working on packing it all back on! :)
That's all I can muster for now. I'm off to rest!

HOME! SWEET! HOME!
They let us come home today!!! I'm so happy to be home. It was a long four days for Micah and for us. But, Micah is doing great! He has kept down lots and lots of food and drinks today and tonight was crawling all over and babbling like mad. It's so nice to have him back to almost normal!
I'll post some pics soon so you can all see how much better he looks!
