Micah 4-month check up/stats

Today Micah is 4-months old. We went to the pediatrician for his check up and shots. Here are the latest Micah stats.....

Height - 25.5 inches (72%)
Weight - 15.6 lbs (61%)

Micah has started daycare and enjoys his teachers. Abram likes to check on Micah through-out the day and make sure he is doing ok in his room. Micah is now rolling in both directions...just not all the time. We have enjoyed hearing Micah "talk" to us with his baby talk. Micah is also laughing....it is fun to watch Abram try to make Micah laugh. Micah has also started to eat rice cereal from a spoon. He seems to like it even though most of the food gets on his face and not in his mouth.

Watch out Beckham...here comes Abram

Abram has now officially started playing soccer in a co-ed 3 year old league at the JCC. Ira is involved with the drills, etc. Managed to get a few pics from the first practice.







Micah continues to grow and Mommy is enjoying her last few weeks of maternity leave. Micah is almost rolling...we just keep working on it with lots of tummy-time. Here is a pic at 13-weeks.

Who is G-d, Mommy?

Tonight, like most nights, Ira and I put Abram to bed and we said the Sh'ma. After saying our nightly prayer, Abram turned to me and said, "who is g-d, mommy". I was caught off guard and looked directly at Ira, who proceeded to say "you can take this one". I answered Abram by saying "g-d is someone who protects and looks out for you". Abram seemed ok with that answer, but wanted know more....my response, "we will have to call Rabbi Joui to explain".

Micah 2-month check up/stats

Micah has received his first round of shots and survived. Stats are as follows:

Weight - 12 lbs, 1 oz (49%)
Height - 23 inches (54%)

Am already pulling out clothes that Micah no longer can wear because he has grown so much. The entire family just loves to make the little guy smile!

Micah 8-week picture

Micah has been smiling since about 6-weeks old and continues to be such a joy. He is sleeping close to 11 hours at night and is so much fun to play with during the day...Abram is ready to share all of his toys (we will see if that changes once Micah really wants to play with his big brother). Off to the doctor later this week for the 2-month check up.

Micah 6-week milestones/Abram movin' on up

Micah continues to thrive and grow into being an amazing little boy. Right now Micah is taking a 9pm 5oz. bottle and has been sleeping until.....6am!!! Keeping our fingers crossed that this pattern continues. Over the weekend we saw our first "Micah smile"....need to get in on camera, but that might take awhile.

Mommy and Micah continue to go on daily walks, but the walks have been moved to the mall since the heat index each day has been in the upper 90s to 100s.

Abram is now spending more time in the 3-year old class at his day-care. He arrived at school today and told Ira that he did not want to play with the little kids and wanted to be with the big kids and Ms. Ruth.

Micah 1-month check up/stats

Today Micah had to go to his 1-month check up appointment with Dr. Mekelburg. Here are the latest Micah stats:

Weight 9 lbs, 9 oz; 44% - gained 2 lbs, 11 oz
Heigh 21 3/4 inches; 57% - grew 1 1/4 inches

Micah for the first time today rolled over from his belly to back. He enjoys tummy-time and is getting very strong. Other items to note - Micah is eating 4oz every 3 hours during the day and has gone from a 9pm feed to 4am....hoping this pattern lasts or gets even better.

Abram is adjusting the role of big bro as well. He likes playing on Micah's play-mat and sometimes will help with a feed.
