The Brown Brothers...

Here is me and Micah hanging out. I love to visit with him and I think he is more used to my voice than mom or dad's. I was giving Micah some love. I don't understand why mom and dad allow him on the dinner table and not me, so I use any excuse to get up there and make it look innocent...
Micah was sleeping so I thought it would be a good time to sneak in a kiss... Here you can see that he has a little better tan than me.
Me and my buddy Lochlan had a play date the other day. He and his two brothers came over and we had a blast!!! We played so hard that I slept until 9:40 the next morning!!! Please keep Lochlan and his family in your prayers. A week after this picture was taken his mommy had a stroke and she is still in the hospital. She is the same age as my mommy and the doctor's don't know yet why it happened. Her name is Nikki and she would really appreciate anyone's prayers for the whole family.
Daddy caught me reading the bible on the potty... What can I say, it is never wrong to read the "GOOD BOOK", I was checking to see if God had any advice on this potty training thing...

Well folks, there are a few pictures to keep you updated. Things are going okay on this end and we are staying busy. Dad is not reporting to training camp for the first time in ten years, and I am excited to have him at home. He has been doing lots of stuff with me, and we just finished a class we were taking at the library called "sign, sing and learn". Micah is over 11 pounds, and mom goes to her 6 week post-op appointment tomorrow to see if she is allowed to start exercising again. Everyone is feeling great, and mom is even getting some sleep lately. Micah only eats every 4 hours at night now, and mom is starting to get a little better at being out with both of us on her own now.

Next week my auntie Corinne is coming for my birthday, and rumor has it that we are having a big BBQ! I am turning 2 on Wednesday the 4th, and I can't wait to see what is in store for the terrible twos... I have been practicing and things sure seem to get a rise out of mom and dad...

BRING IT ON!!! In the meantime, keep our family in your prayers, (health, employment, sleep, and patience), and I will keep you posted on things as a two year old...

Growing like weeds....

It is official. Micah is bigger than me. Well not at this moment but he managed to gain 2 pounds and two ounces in two weeks!!!! He was 10 lbs 2 ozs at 3 weeks old, and after looking back in this blog I realized that is what I weighed at one month. Keep in mind I was very sick though, so I think I will still have him beat in the long run... Mom has officially decided that if Micah had been the first child he would have been an only child... while I was easier then, I am making up for it now... The terrible twos have arrived early and I am giving mom and dad a run for their money...
This is me on a mini-Harley... I thought grandpa Ed would like this picture...
Dad and Micah before the growth spurt...
First family photo
This diaper change took 4 diapers and a full load of laundry. Check out the couch...
What can I say????
