Everyday Happenings

6Micah handles tummy time much better then Ivory...who screamed the entire time every time.  Wait, Micah handles just about *everything* more calmly then Ivory.  Ivory is a blast and she is so full of life and energy--from birth.  She brings the biggest smiles to her mommy's face and makes me laugh like no other.  Her hugs, snuggles, and kisses are sweet as sugar.  Micah is our sweet, calm little boy who completely melts my heart.
This was the calm before the storm.  After calmly, and quite cutely, playing with these memory cards Ivory proceeded to head to the bookcase where she pulled approximately 30 books of the shelf and threw them on the floor making quite the mess.  Well, she threw a royal tantrum when I instructed her to clean up the books.  She VERY. SLOWLY. put ONE. Book. at. a. time. on the shelf with multiple spankings to motivate...followed by massive screaming.  Then, onto cleaning up the cards before naptime.  That made putting the books away seem like a piece of cake.  She dumped the cards out at least twice in the "cleaning-up" process.  Boy is clean-up time fun! =)  However, I must say, I was pleasantly surprise when the next day at someone's house clean-up only resulted in one tantrum followed by one spanking.  Hooray for progress!
Gotta love baby booty!
Jason I never could understand the line "sleeping like a baby" until having Micah.  Ivory was much to interested in everything around her to fall asleep.  But this boy, man he can fall asleep just about anywhere.  And yes, i'm soaking up every bit of it.  Enjoing snuggles.  Easyness.  Quiet. 
Mommy's little sweetheart.

This video captures life perfectly as of late. He's happy and content and then big sister comes. Poking, prodding, pulling, hitting -or- kissing, touching, patting, sweetly talking. All depends on her current mood. We finally had to make a "don't touch Micah in the car" when we heard a piercing wail in the car and I turned around to find Micah's nose bloodied by a nail scratch. Nice.
