Today Tom and I were getting the boys up for the day and Tom walked out with Azariah and Micah yelled after him mommy .... Tom yelled back I'm not mommy I'm daddy then Micah yelled that's what I said .... He cracks us up on a daily basis he is WAY to smart for him own good.... Now if Azariah pukes on the floor which is a common occurrence, Micah quickly finds something to wipe it up. He is VERY good about throwing things away and very polite always signs please and thank you. He has a very hard time leaving blankey in the crib tho but he knows he's supposed to because he goes to throw it out on the floor and quickly stops and says no no no and puts in the corner on his pillow where we've showed him it needs to stay. He also climbed out of his crib the other day. Tom and I were talking and were just about to go in and get the boys and we heard the loud thud and ran in there to find him crying on his back ... he wasn't hurt tho just scared..... We plan to get rails for the twin bed and set it up once we come back from our Trip. Oh and also I'm proud to announce for those of you that Micah thought you were Toby ( Jodi and Jolie) He says
J O L I E and says Auntie for Jodi :)
Azariah is amazing us day after day as well. I was laying on a pillow on the couch last night and Tom was holding Azariah and he reached over ( without Tom's help I checked) and pulled my hair he grabbed a HUGE chunk the silly monkey. he is also now very interested in the remote and grabs that out of ours hands.... He went from this baby that would just hang out quietly to one that is constantly saying ba ba ba and squealing ... he's grabbing at things and rolling all over the place and trying to scoot around and he is FINALLY learning to SIT UP. And the funniest thing I think he does is grab on to Micah's blanket and he WILL NOT LET GO.... it drives Micah crazy but I like that they are actually interacting now.... Micah will also look under the bumper in Azariah's crib to find him ... he calls him yaya or rier.

Trip to Cheyenne
This def was not our first trip to Cheyenne not even Azariah's first trip there but it was our first hassel free trip where we could show up when we wanted and leave the same way. My WONDERFUL inlaws got us a hotel room so we could give the boys naps when they needed them with no interruptions and didn't have to work 5 times as hard to baby proof someone else's house. It was very nice we left around noon from our house so we didn't have a rushed quick pack but don't forget anything morning... We then headed to Pueblo and picked up lunch then went to Paul and Gloria's ate lunch hung out a bit and headed out to Castle Rock oh how I LOVE Outlet Malls we then got back in the car and proceeded to Cheyenne with a dinner stop in Fortcollins to McCallister's and again oh how I LOVE McCallister's. Then we took Grandma ( Gloria) to Nana's
( Grandma Elly) and then we arrived at our Hotel and since of course we wern't thinking bring at least one bad for the boys we were THRILLED when they gave us 2 pack n play's and we didn't have to each co -sleep with a small boy that snores and kicks and cry's because they are NOT used to co-sleeping.
We woke up we'll Tom and I rolled out of bed around 8am pretty sure Micah was awake around 6:30am but perfectly content just hanging out and peeking around. At about 7:30am was when he decided Azariah needed to be awake and proceeded to everything possible to wake him up so once HE was awake we too got up for the day. We got the boys ready for day and ourselves then I went down and got breakfast for Micah and I and went back up to the room so Tom could go down and get breakfast then he decided to take Micah back down for some exploring since he'd been in the same room for quite awhile and needed to run off some energy for a successful nap time. Then I decided to brave having NO idea where I was and sent out on a mission for socks for ALL 3 of my boys why did we go sock shopping on vacation you ask? Because Vacation packing is when you most find out what you NEED in your suit case .... so I called my mil ( mother in law) since she was familiar with Cheyenne and I was NOT she gave me the RIGHT directions but I second guess myself quite a bit and sent myself on a goose chase but after calling her back and then talking to Paul's Cousin Tim I was headed in the right direction to Wal-mart. know I know why Wal-mart YES was actually HAVE one of those in Canon City so why wouldn't I want to go find somewhere we DON'T have???? Well Wal-mart for one fits my husbands spending limit's and 2 they also had allergy medicine for my little Azariah and sun screen since yep once again the item we didn't find for packing. So having been in MANY wal-marts I always walk in like I own the place and know EXACTLY where everything is .... Allergy meds check sun screen check hubby's socks check search for Micah socks and find Azariah socks check.... search for Micah socks fail search over here for Micah socks fail search the other place fail.... 20 mins later of walking back and forth find Micah's socks 1 isle away from Azariah's socks... 2 goose chases of the day completed CHECK .... I then find my way back to the Hotel wonderfully because by now I am a native I've driven around SO MUCH. Went back the Hotel key worked YAY and BOTH my angels we FAST asleep HEAVEN .... Then the phone rings the reunion has started it started at 11 instead of 12 it's now 11:30am and we have 2 sleeping babies well guess we'll be late business and usual. We arrived around 12:30 so NOT bad considering we thought it started at 12 and planned on being fashionably late, ok not really but 30 mins is GOOD for us.... We had a lot of fun at the reunion Tom got to hang out with his cousins like old times on the play ground really not joking and I just hung out talking to people and meeting family members of course. After the reunion we went to Grandma Elly's and Tom helped with her yard and anything she needed ( good quality time for him) and I headed down stairs with the boys and mil and put both boys on a diff bed for nap... Micah actually stayed on a day bed and took a nap and waited for me to say he could get up before moving and I got a lovely 1 1/2 movie's long nap. Yes I ALWAYS fall asleep during movies. Then we went to Perkins for dinner and headed back to the Hotel and put the boys down to bed watched a movie on Hallmark and went to bed....
The next day Tom jumped out of bed at 7:30am got dressed and was out the door before I could even see straight because he had plans with Grandpa at 8 and still needed to go get his mom... So once I woke up and figured out what was going on I was ready to SHOOT Tom. ALL of the bottles were in the car and it was GONE and also had the Strollers and my phone and the hotel phone would NOT call out. SO I got Micah up and dressed and waited for Azariah to wake up mean while despising Tom for leaving me with both boys without any EASY way of getting around and NO bottle for poor Azariah oh did I mention he was meeting his Grandpa across the street that consisted of at the time going through sprinklers down stairs and across a busy Truck stop with a 19 month old that thinks he's 10 and can do it ALL on his own and a 7 1/2 month old with NO stroller. Just as I was plotting the death of Tom for leaving me his mom was at the door with the good news that the car was back at the hotel and she was there to HELP.... So we got the boys and a bottle and stroller and headed off to Breakfast.... Then we came back and packed up and headed to Starbucks ( trying to make that Micah's new word) YUM and then off to the park where I got to play with sweet Micah and Tom was able to chat with his cousin and his wife ... I have video of Micah at the park SO cute I will post when I have more time... He went up to the top of a Smallish slide and went down ALL by himself about 10 diff times .. I was SO proud of him and so AMAZED that he could do it and had NO FEAR. We ended well near ended the trip at Subway in Castle Pine where they put brown lettuce on our sandwich's which Tom had them re make them without lettuce since they REFUSED to throw it out and get new.... We also had PLENTY of time to work on the names of Micah's Family.... Aunt's, Uncle's, Cousins, Grand parents and Great Aunt :) He did pretty good with all of them but Jodi and Jolie sound too much like Toby his best friend ( the Cat) at MIL's house so he just said Oew because that what's Toby says Meow. Over all a VERY successful and stress free trip where we came home and didn't feel like we needed a vacation :) .... Thanks for the Great room coffe, dinner and lunch and for keeping the boys entertained for us on the drive Gloria.... Oh one last thing.... Micah was trying to choke himself one of his BAD habits and gma told him to STOP and he wouldn't listen so she told Tom to take care of it and he turned out and started counting because that's what works with Micah and he turned back around and Micah slapped gma for telling on him LOL.
