July 2009


7 Months Old!

Happy 4th of July!

Micah had his 6 month appointment and weighed in at 16 pounds! 

He took his 2nd airline trip in July to visit his Aunt & Uncle in Houston, Texas!  Micah was definitely more "talkative" during this flight, to the point where I think it was annoying the gentleman next to us, but...what can you do?! 

Big news!!! Micah took his first dip in the pool! His Aunt & Uncle bought him the cutest infant float suit ever! I wasn't quite sure how he would react to the water, but he LOVED it! In fact, he was so relaxed that he started to doze off.  Of course, he dressed the part in Old Navy swimwear, along with Daddy's hat. He also had some matching flip flops that Uncle K bought probably this time LAST year! 

Unfortunately, at the end of the month, the "daycare sniffles & cough" turned into something much worse! One Saturday afternoon while we were out and about, Micah spiked a fever of 103 out of nowhere! The on-call nurse instructed us to give him Tylenol and call back in the morning if it didn't get better. The following day, we took Micah to the Children's After Hours Clinic, and the doctor said that, "Despite the 102 degree temperature, it's just a cold, Mom." Luckily, Micah's Aunt in Houston is a pediatrician and she suggested that we make an appointment to see his regular pediatrician the next morning.  So, on Monday morning, after several tests and a chest x-ray, lo and behold...Micah had PNEUMONIA! Needless-to-say, Micah was out of daycare for most of that week.  Getting Micah to take the antibiotic was a battle every time! I must admit, it smelled horrible! Can you blame him?! Luckily, he was back to himself within a couple of days!

In other news, Micah was learning how to sit up, but couldn't quite do it by himself yet...

...and, he was still awaking around 2am each morning--eager for a late night snack...the snack bar is about to close!!!

Taking a dip in the pool!


Sitting up! ...well, sort of...
