one year ago
One year ago on this very weekend, I took a look at a plus sign. After getting minus signs for a very long year before that, finally a plus sign. I didn't believe it. I drank like 10 glasses of water to try it again. This time, a different test. This time it said 'pregnant'. Still I didn't believe it. I drank some more water. Another test said 'pregnant'. Could it be??? After five different kinds of tests...I believed!!! Oh how we had prayed for this to happen for a whole year! It was so surreal. It was so cool. It was so unbelievable. It was so exciting!

favorite sounds
One of my most favorite sounds in this whole world is children laughing.
Tonight, our son laughed out loud without being tickled. It was the most precious thing ever! He has been giggling a little when I'd tickle him and give him some kisses. Tonight though, Derek was holding him outside and I was making faces and noises while Michael was smiling. Then he just started laughing at me. It was so stinkin' precious.
**************************
We had a wonderful weekend. Michael's first 4th of July was pretty uneventful (when it comes to fireworks). Juice, Pa, Uncle Curt, Shelley and Garrett came down for a little golf, swimming and hamburgers. A big thunderstorm ran us out of the pool, but we still had fun hanging out. We were going to try to keep him up to watch fireworks, but he was so sleepy. He had so much fun hanging out with everyone. Happy 4th of July!

4 months & 2 years
Happy 4 Month Birthday Michael and Happy 2nd Birthday Kai!!!
These two are going to best buds for a long time!
Four months...wow. I mean seriously, 4 months! I asked someone the other day...what in the world did I do last summer??? I honestly don't know! This little guy is so much fun to have around. He is growing and changing and doing something new everyday it seems.
He doesn't like to lay in your lap of a morning anymore. He wants to be sitting up looking around. He thinks he might miss something or notice something new! He's going to have some good abs! When we go out to eat, he likes to be sitting in one of our laps so he can look at all the people.
He is really smiling and laughing now. It's really not fair to the little guy because momma knows all the tickle spots and I find them a lot! I love that little giggle. It's so precious!
Michael has really done better on his naptime in the crib. Well, for the most part, he's getting the hang of it. He doesn't like to be rocked for naptime though. He'd rather me just put him down in his crib. He'll cry/whine for a few minutes, then he's out. Sometimes he'll sleep for 30 minutes and sometimes an hour or so. (Most of the time 30 minutes!) I would love for him to be on a good 3 naps a day schedule. We're still working on this!
As for night time....good stuff going on! We usually keep the closet light on with the door cracked just a tiny bit. The other night I went in there and it had gone out. He had slept so good. So, we've been leaving it off and super dark in there and the boy is SLEEPING!!! Holy moly...like 8 hours one night!
He loves loves loves his walks we take in the morning. We have our little routine of him eating and playing, me eating some breakfast and then we're off for our walk. Kirby enjoys this too...she gets so excited when I get the stroller out.
He loves the bumbo seat. He'll sit in it while I eat breakfast or while we are eating lunch. We tried the highchair...but he's still a little too small for it.
Rolling over has not been one of his favorite tricks. He has rolled over a few times since Father's Day, but that has been about it. He really doesn't like tummy time. He'll stay on his tummy for a few minutes, but then he's done with it and when he realizes that he's been on his tummy...it ticks him off. So, we'll keep having our little tummy times and see if rolling over comes back.
He doesn't talk as much now because it seems like every time he opens his mouth to talk, those silly fingers find their way in there! I'm not too sure he's not in the beginning stages of teething. He puts whatever he can get his hands on into his mouth...his hands, our fingers, teething toys, burp clothes, books, you name it! Oh my I have no idea what to do when he teethes.
Michael is really starting to notice himself in the mirror too. It's so funny. He almost laughs out loud at himself. He gets this huge grin on his face and looks up at us like 'mom, do you see that handsome guy in there!?' He loves it. (this is from my cell phone, so it's not a great picture..but you can see his super grin!)
We got him this exersauser and he really likes it. There is so much to look at! He even noticed himself in the little mirror on it too....
And some really great news...we have found a babysitter!!! She is going to come to the house...thank you Jesus! We were really having a hard time with this and Anna has just fallen into place. She seems like a super nice girl and very qualified. She is actually coming from Muleshoe, so we know some of the people she has babysat for. They have great things to say about her. Answered prayers to say the least!
Happy 4 month birthday little guy!!! We love you! Momma & Daddy

future tiger woods
After waking BEFORE the crack of dawn yesterday, we decided to take Michael out to the golf course for his first golf lesson. He slept for the first two holes, but after that, loved it.
I think we've got a future Tiger Woods on our hands here....
