Goin' ons

Micah and Daddy talking and laughing!

We were playing peek-a-boo!

This picture is kind of silly but Micah was blowing raspberries while getting his vest treatment.

I found this website through a friend's blog and I loved it. I wanted to buy every child I know one of the dolls. I was upset that I couldn't get one for Micah for his birthday but Auntie came through. It is very cute! Thank you auntie for this very thoughtful gift!! A hand made doll that has a scripture patch on his belly reminding Micah to be strong and courageous and to do everything in love. And it has Micah's name on it I love this. Micah likes the doll too! Check it out http://www.babybeblesseddolls.com/.

Be on your guard, stand firm in the faith, be men of courage, be strong. Do everything in love.- 1Corinthians 16:13-14 Joseph and Micah-Man and the new guy!

Joseph fell asleep getting a hair cut!

Daddy and Micah-Man snuggling on the couch!

Micah hasn't done this in a long time but lately he has been able to sleep with his Bipap off!

Ticklish!

So last night I had just finished all of Micah's stuff(nebulizer, suction, vest treatment, suction, cough assist, suction) and usually he is great after, little to no secretions, but last night he was just juicy. So I let Daddy have a little lovie time with Micah(that is how we do it almost every night) and when Micah started to have a little bit of a hard time I took him. I held him up on my shoulder because this is how he can be held and still manage his drool. I began to talk to him and tell him I was gonna get him and he just started giggling like I have never heard him giggle before. He had me laughing too. So I kept tickling him until I was tired of laughing. Snuggling, loving, laughing, smiling, talking, happy baby. What is better than that! Joseph wasn't involved in our lovie time tonight because he was already asleep! Thank you God for another amazing day with this sweet sweet baby.

4th of July

I thought I would share this with all of you because I thought it was very typical of a 1 year old. Micah did NOT like the fire works!!! But Joseph loved it! Micah cried for a little while and then just checked out and slept through the rest of the fireworks.

Micah's chair

Thanks to Gwendolyn and her family we found out that we might be able to get one of these chairs too and we were successful. Micah loves to sit up and look around and just be at eye level with all of us. He is tolerating siting in it off of his bi-pap for about 10-15 minutes too which is very awesome. This little guy loves to be outside!!

Here's the new house!!

So this is the back yard, we have a wood deck and a really cool dry scape yard.


This is our room with Micah and that is Joseph's bedroom.

This is the studio and the garage and a picture of the beginnings of the MAN CAVE!!

There is a large living room and a dinning room. The kitchen is awesome and the back room is a den/play room. The back room looks like it was 2 rooms and so we divided it into 2 rooms but they are open to each other. There are 2 bathrooms in this house one is a full bath/shower and the other is just a half-toilet and sink. I can't even begin to tell you how much easier just an extra half bath makes in a house!! We have a laundry nook in the house and I am in heaven,I just wish someone would magically put everything away for me!!! We have so much room for all the equipment here and more than 1 room to hang out in!! Both the boys love it too. There are so many windows which makes it so light and happy.

SMA milestone

I know I said pictures will be coming soon and they will I will work on it tomorrow. I had to share this with you all. I am a very proud mama, Micah just learned how to blow rasberries today. I am so excited, I am trying to get it on video but he stops as soon as I pull out the video camera. I will continue to try to get it though. Yeah Micah.

What has been, and NOW!

Okay so it has been almost a month since I have posted anything on here and I apologize for that. Things have been a little crazy around here. July 1 we move kinda spur of the moment to a new house(we are renting) we LOVE it. It is a 3 bedroom and 1.5 bath with a studio and full bath on the garage. I cannot tell you how important that .5 bath is to us now with Joseph potty trained. Now we have enough places to put things and room to spread out a little. Plus we now have a beautiful grassy front yard and a huge tree that makes shade all day. Micah is loving it here he has a beautiful view out all the windows and we do go outside a lot and just sit or lay in the grass. I promise I will post pictures soon. We have a new chair for Micah and he is loving more time in a new position. He did have a little bit of a funk for a few days and now seems to be doing well again. A lot of excitement!!! I will be posting some really beautiful pictures soon too of our family.
