Life with Micah (Micah is 8 1/2 weeks)

Me and Micah. Micah is 4 weeks old here.

Micah at 5 weeks... I just love the precious faces he makes...

Micah at 6 weeks.. Looking like his Daddy...

So life with Micah... Micah is now 8 1/2 weeks old and will be two months old this Friday. I am back at work now and I miss my little boy so much! I honestly stare at his pictures at random times at work just to make it through.. I have to admit though, that on my first day back, I felt a little relieved to have a little break from him. He is WORK! I feed him, then I burp him, then I change him... It takes about an hour and then I repeat every 4 hours! I have to put him to sleep before I get anything done... You may be thinking, AMATEUR, but it is what it is. LoL.

I love Micah so much! I can't imagine life without him. He's looking more and more like Rico everyday. He's super picky like his daddy and has a hot temper like his mommy. That's not a good combination! Lol. Micah is learning and growing up so fast! He started to flip over from his stomach to his back at 9 days old. He started scooting backwards and in circles at 3 1/2 weeks. He started cooing and smiling at 7 weeks (I think). And he has me COMPLETELY whipped! He's always been really strong. He's been trying to hold his head up since he was about 2 weeks old. He pretty much does it on his own now, however I still guard his little neck. Like I said, I'm an amateur.

Rico loves to play with him. It's much easier now that Micah is more mobile. Micah laughs and waves his fists at Rico. It's the sweetest thing ever. I fall in love with Rico all over again when I see him playing with Micah. I also get really mad at Rico when Micah is being picky! Lol. Micah likes his milk warm... not too warm and not cold! Micah does NOT like everyone. He seems to like the people we're close to and screams when others try to hold him. He's a character! He loves to just watch people... I've read that looking and staring at things are normal for his age. Rico says he's nosy like his Great Grandma. Micah loves it when you just talk to him... He coos and smiles and waves his little fists. He likes to be held with his face on your chest. He'll look up at you and watch everything you say and do. Micah is such a wonderful little boy. I enjoy him so much. It's crazy to see the characteristics that he inherits from Rico and me. I love him more and more each day. And this adventure is only starting!
