Cousins

 Ok, this is not a cousin picture, but mom wanted her picture with chunky baby!

 Heather, Gloria and mom came over to help me get caught up on life.  Gloria was wearing this adorable outfit and since Elli had one that matched, I did a little photo shoot.  Aren't they cute?

Gloria loves Elli so much.  She is one of Gloria's top 5 favs!  She was trying to kiss Elli and Elli returned the love:)

Elli lost number 6

 We started the day at the park. Elli's top left tooth was basically sticking straight out.

 We went to visit Papa at work.  Micah is wearing his "Grandpa's helper" onesie and dad was showing both Elli and Micah off.

 As we pack up to leave, Elli told me we needed to go back inside and get a tissue from Papa because her tooth was coming out.

And here is that adorable smile.  I think it is even cuter now that both top teeth are gone.  She woke up at 2:30 am when I was feeding Micah and told me the toother fairy didn't come.  Her stash was in the hallway right outside her door, but thankfully she was still too sleepy to see it.  So, I got her back in bed. She fell asleep and then I, I mean the tooth fairy, left $3, a half dollar, a quarter, a dime, a nickel, and a penny along with a littlest pet shop  toy.  I was all for stickign with the quarter for a tooth like I got all growing up, but it is way too to leave more.  Man, by the time Micah starts loosing teeth, considering inflation, this tooth fairy may go broke!!!

Little Snuggle Boy

Micah loves to have his legs tucked up underneath him when we hold him.  It is so sweet.  Here he is almost a month old but still tucks those legs up.  Here you can see his little foot under his belly.  I did want a snuggle baby and I got one for sure.  He certainly does love to be held too.

Digital Cuteness

 Chubby cheeks.  Getting bigger by the hour!

 He always calms when he is outside.

 Elli discovered the secret tray in our couch and used it to eat her zucchini bread.

Micah is starting to see and interact with his toys.

July 5th, Visit from Canadian Family

 Elli, Seth, Adalai, and Aria.

 Uncle Carl is the "baby whisperer."  He was so good with Micah, calming him right down.

 It is always good to visit with family.  Espcially when we do not see each other very often.  Carl, Ann, Carolyn, Jenna and Aria, Me and Micah, Megan and Rayna, Kyle and Seth, Elli and Adalai.  Adalai told her mom that Elli was her favorite cousin!  Glad they got to play together.

 Rayna and Micah are holding hands.

The baby "reach".  Love those little spastic movements.

 Micah is 3 weeks old today.  Little baby in a big bed:)

 Elli loves to hold her brother and he seems to calm when she does. Love their connection already.

Lindy got to visit with her babies.  It was my first time to meet Josiah and she got to meet Micah.  It was a fun visit though as always, way too short.

July 1st, Fireworks at Springfield Country Club

 Sweet Micah

 Little Firecracker for sure!

 Red  and white ribbon weaved into Elli's braid.

 Seth started out excited then as the fireworks began started saying,"I don't like this" after each one:)  By the end though he was excited again!

Mom and dad joined us.  Brent and Elli were here too!  Micah enjoyed fireworks while nursing and was totally unphased.

Happy Anniversary date night, June 30

 Sweetness at nearly 3 weeks.

 We tried to go to Rue Dumaine, but due to the crazy thunderstorm, the power was out so we ended up at Red Lobster.

PLaying in his jungle gym wears him out!

Father's Day

 Sleepy adorable baby boy.

 Wakey, Wakey sleepy heads.

 Elli had lots of ideas for Father's Day.  She helped me get up nd make cinnamon rolls which we ate in bed, then we gave Brent his gift, a tent!  Elli made him a card too.

Then we went to church.  I got to sit with my dad and Brent with Micah not even a week old.  Pretty memorable Father's Day for sure.
