Happy Birthday Terrance!

Micah is 7 months

Micah still has no teeth yet. They seem to be stuck right below his gums and are not giving him any problems. He can now walk in his walker--looks like he moves like a spider (I call them Spidey steps). Now he is drinking from his cup like a champ, and eating solid food like a big boy. He is very vocal right now, and has to touch everything! He is now trying to crawl, but still seems to prefer to try to walk.

We think he is weaned!

Wow who knew? Just two days of going 'cold turkey', and Micah is OK with only having his cup now! He still gets breast milk just out of a cup now.

I was trying to gradually wean him, which Micah was fighting all the way. So his daddy thought I should try 'cold turkey'. I reluctantly tried, and to my surprise I only had to endure two days of crying, fighting, and tantrums. If it were longer than that I would not have been able to take it. Weaning Micah was just as hard on me emotionally and physically. For a minute I felt like I was weaning him from me, and breaking our bond, because he would be so upset with me.

I am glad to report that he is doing fine, and still seems to love his mommy more than ever. Now I can have peace of mind while I am at school that others can feed him just fine without him being so upset.

Happy Valentine's Day

Hanging out with Dad

Mom and Dad stopped by after their anniversary dinner to see Micah. Terrance and I decided to take advantage of the chance to get out of the house, and let Micah spend some time with his granny B.

We took Dad out to the Mainevent. It was nice to be able to relax and have some fun. Since becoming a mommy my game playing skills have gotten real rusty!

Micah is 6 months old

Update: Micah now weighs 18 lbs. and is 26 inches. We are not sure that we agree this time. At home we measured him at 28 inches, and he feels like he weighs so much more than 18 lbs. He is solid!




We still can not believe it ourselves-Micah has already been here for half a year! Wow, where does the time go?

I will have an update on his measurements Tuesday after his doctor's appointment. Right now he seems to be teething. He has his fussy moments when hardly anything is soothing to him. We think that is when his gums are bothering him, because he generally is not a fussy baby.

Deal or no deal

Who knew that we would need to get rid of the RX-8 NOW? Terrance goes out to start the car and it won't start. He calls the dealership to have it towed, and is told about cold starts. The suggestion the clerk gave did not work. So off to the dealership the car went. The starter and the battery both had to be replaced. Mind you this car is only 3 years old and only has 24,000 miles on it.

To my disappointment Terrance and I both came to the conclusion that it would be in our best interest to get out of this vehicle before the warranty runs out. Too many other RX-8 owners were having the same problems, and for some it was a reoccurring problem. So much for thinking I would have my car for a long time. That car was so much fun to drive (if you have driven one then you know what I am talking about).

So now I am the proud owner of an SUV like so many other Americans. Don't get me wrong I love my new 4Runner but, I miss the RX-8.

I am glad that the decision making for picking out a new vehicle is over. It was difficult and painful for me. Finding a vehicle that would be practical for our family, is safe, and looks nice was not easy. Not to mention having to deal with the annoying sales people that want you to make an on the spot decision, and can't understand why a person would want to think about such a decision.

Thanks Don and Jennifer

It was so nice to see you both again. We thank you for the wonderful dinner. The fish tacos were excellent.

Terrance at home

It feels like it is the weekend all the time around here now since Terrance landed an at-home job. It is nice having him around-hope Micah and I don't run him back to the office.

Since today was his first full day at home we started our work out routine together again. I will keep you updated on how that is going. I am trying to lose almost 40 pounds! As you can see from my recent picture the poundage has stacked up after three foot surgeries and a baby. For starters we completed a jog/walk through one of the parks around here. Then completed some sit-ups, and push-ups. (Terrance didn't do his push-ups--he thinks I didn't catch that one). I surprised myself jogging a little, but the sit-ups were very disappointing to me. I think this is the worse I have ever been out of shape.

Terrance also tells me that tonight we are going to the gym also to either play basketball or lift weights. I hope I can walk tomorrow!

New look

I am not sure that I am liking the new look of the blog right now. I am still working on it. Let me know what you think.

Happy New Year

We wish all well this new year. May all your endeavors, dreams, hopes, and blessings be fulfilled this year.

Micah is 5 months old

He is teething!

Micah's first Christmas

We did not go all out this Christmas, because we figure we will have plenty of other Christmas times that Micah will actually remember. We did enjoy the company of our families and friends.

Merry Christmas

Angie's uncles visit 12-16-06

What a surprise two of my mother's brothers came to Texas for a visit. It was wonderful seeing them after so many years. Uncle Melvin and Carl also had a chance to meet Micah. I wish we had longer to visit with them.

Micah's first solid meal

Micah's first meal was scrumptious squash with delicious and nutritious rice. He loved it!

Micah is 4 months old

Micah now weighs 16 lbs. and is 24 in. long. He can sit up on his own, but he leans forward. He does not like to try to crawl much. He prefers trying to walk(with support) and standing.

Dr. Martin thinks he can feel a ridge in Micah's mouth, which may mean he might get some teeth soon. Developmentally everything else seems to be on track.

Happy Thanksgiving!

More to come soon! God bless.

Update: I forgot the camera when we went to Killeen for Thanksgiving day. The food and visit were great! Micah even had a good laugh with his granny.

Then I left the camera at home again when we went to Alissa's (Micah's cousin) birthday party. Terrance did snap this one pic with his camera phone.

Congratulations Melody!

Create Your Own!

We are so happy for and proud of you. You hung in there all the way--You GO GIRL!!

Thank you Seanta

This is the wonderful gift I have been telling you about, and showing whoever I can.

We can't thank you enough for the beautiful quilt you took the time to make for Micah! He will be able to cheerish this gift for years to come. Thanks again

Baby on the go!

Micah went on his first roadtrip 9/23/06 to stay with his grandparents. We know he loves the car--slept all the way. The only rowdy moments were on the way back home. He didn't like waiting at the stoplights.

Then the next day he went to watch his daddy play flag football. He is a little baby on the go.

Micah is 2 months old

Micah had his 2 month checkup 9/27/06. He now weighs 11 pounds and 7 ounces. He is also now 21.5 inches.

Micah is now holding his head up unassisted, trying to crawl (his granny even witnessed this), smiling, cooing, and very attentive. He seems to study everything.

1 month checkup

Micah is growing like crazy. He now weighs 8 pounds 9 ounces, and is 20.5 inches long (not bad for an early baby). He was pretty worn out after his doc. visit as you can see in his pics. Getting the Hep B shot was not any fun for the little guy.

1 month old

Sorry for the slow updates (adjusting to motherhood).

Wow, I can't believe it, Micah is already 1 month old. Time moves so fast. He goes to the doctor for his 1 month checkup on 8/30. I will post his new stats then. Right now he smiles a lot, and he has pretty good head and neck control. He even does this cute little inch worm scoot.

Newborn follow up 8/4/06

Today Micah went for his first doctor visit. His new stats are as follows:

Weight: 5lbs.11oz. back to birth weight
Length: 18.5in. he has already grown an inch

Doc. says that eveything looks great, and that we seem to have a very happy, healthy, laid back baby. Mom and Dad agree.

Lactation office visit 7/31/06

Micah is doing very well in the feeding department. Since his birth his weight has dropped from 5lbs.12oz. to 5lbs.8oz. He latched on and ate very well during this office visit. The nurse was very pleased with his progress.
