Christmas #2

We finally had Christmas with Tom's parents on New Years Eve.... I was spoiled with LOTS of new cooking materials :) including a new food processor from my sweetie. The boys had fun Micah got a new train to ride and plays with it pretty much any chance he has at Gwah's house. He has learned so much and keeps surprising us everyday. One day every time we turned around it seemed like he was doing something new. He decided he likes to read his new books and LOVES to read to us, he even gave daddy his blanket so he could read to him .... he jibber jabbers and turns the page followed by clapping because he's proud of himself. He figured out that if he stands on his train he can get on the couch. He also decided that spinning the computer chair is more fun than taking a nap. Oh and he started pushing the train back and forth like it's a vaccum. Azariah is now LAUGHING it's just the best. He is such a happy baby when he wants to be and he can be a real screamer when he wants to be too. He's def a mama's boy which I like but am starting to not like the inconvenance of. I can't leave for very long because he thinks he needs me 24/7.... I have to admit I do like being needed that much :)

Micah had a bad sore on his finger that we thought was a spider bite so Gwah and I took him to the doc to get it checked out and to get Az's shots done. turned out it was just an infected scrape or scratch because he sucks on that thumb all the time, so they had to poke it and drain it and put on a bandaid, he tried to be a trooper but all bets were off when she covered up his favorite finger he waved frantically at the doc when she left the room he was ready to leave. Az on the other hand DOES NOT like shots. I can't say I blame him I'm not a fan either.

Gloria took Micah home after his doc's visit so Tom and I could go to bible study and I guess on the way home he decided to take matters in his own hands and remove that pesky bandaid and gleefully said YEAH when he accomplished his task and handed it to Uncle Ryan.

I also heard that Gwah went to get the Jungle Book movie out of the portable player and put it in at her house and he said Bear Necesseties, I am just SHOCKED at how smart my little 15 month old is sometimes.

Tom also just informed me that while I ran to the store tonight Micah started spinning Tom in the computer chair at our house.

We have also come to the not so exciting conclusion of Micah is hitting the terrible 2 stage rapidly. He looks at you after you tell him no and gives you a look of oh yea what are you going to do about it and proceeds without caution. I think he thinks counting is now a game. I have a feeling we are really in for it.

Aunt Helen and Uncle Garye also came for a visit for the first time and were able to see Micah in a much better mood which was nice. He was REALLY sick the last time he saw her and wasn't very good company so it was good for her to see him doing well and see how fun and sweet he can be. She also brought me Toffee :) it was a good day.



Tonight we attempted bath # 2 with the boys and it went really well again. We bought the boys new bath toys that included some foam letters and Micah caught on very quickly to putting them on the side of the tub and then also figured out they might stick to brothers head. Az wasn't so impressed but was a trooper about it none the less. We attempted to put both boys in the same room for bed time and that lasted in my mind 5 minutes but Tom informed me it was more like 45 still not sucessful in my eyes. Both boys are now sleeping soundly but in diff rooms. I have a feeling it's going to be a long road to gain this accomplishment.

Well if any of you are still with me I think I'm going to stop for now ..... I will try to post pics later and keep this thing updated a little more frequently.
