Close Up

Luke really wanted this photo taken...Baby Micah gets lots of photos lately...

Baby Micah is 7 weeks young! He can hold his head up very well during tummy time. So strong he is! He also has rolled over already! His legs are very strong and he wants to stand up. He was weighed a few days before he was 6 weeks old and he weighed 13lbs. 11 oz. and was 22 7/8" long! He is a very big boy!

We love all of his grunts and snorts!

A Visitor From the North

Miss Peggy came for a visit! It was wonderful to have a dear friend visit us while we are still here in Bloomington. We had a good time visiting and Luke really liked Miss Peggy's iPhone! Soon enough we will be way closer and we will have to drop in on her!

Cabin Fever

We will miss Bloomington in the spring! Yesterday when we arrived home it was 8 degrees warmer than the weather that we had left in Ft. Wayne hours earlier. We will miss Bryan Park too! So many memories there of walking Sanibel and playing at the park and pool. I tucked baby Micah in my sling and we had a park day.

I like when his lips tie up like a bow. You know, like in the "Night Before Christmas" poem:

"His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow."

Luke is so athletic and agile! Such a grown-up boy!

All of that fun stuff to do and he wanted to do what I was doing.

The digging scooper thing is a big hit! He can finally operate it all on his own!

A backseat driver

Luke loves to hang. "Like a monkey" he said.

Climbing wall

Phil packed a lunch for Luke. We thought he would fall asleep in the car on the way home...that did not happen. Too exciting!

Our sidewalk is quite colorful lately! Luke prefers the blue chalk and, like his crayons, he is very heavy handed.

Baby Micah is right in the mix!

His hat is too big

Bubbles = happiness

Luke likes to make heavy marks and circles. He is especially fond of drawing a circle around a piece of ancient gum that is on the sidewalk right outside our front door. I am sure that is was there when we moved in but if you ask him where it came from he says "ME!" He has never even had chewing gum before. He is concerned about it though.

We take drawing requests.

The snowman that Luke made with my dad keeps making a comeback. Luke gets worried when the carrot nose falls off and lays on the ground. The funniest part is that we have a bunny that likes to come and nibble on it! He loves that a "bunny rabbit" is snacking on his carrot nose.

Hopefully this was our last snow of the season. The only snowmen that we will be making are the ones made of sidewalk chalk! He always requests for a snowman. Luckily they are easy to draw.

This is baby Micah at 6 weeks old. He is losing his hair and it might be coming in blond? We will see!

This is the castle that Phil drew. It has Grandma and Grandpa Fishbaugh on the roof because Grandpa Fishabugh always says "Have fun storming the castle" from "The Princess Bride"
