Kind of 8 weeks..

Technically, Micah will be 8 weeks tomorrow, but we're traveling to AL tomorrow so I won't have time to write a post.  I can't believe he's about to be 8 week!  Two months old!  My baby boy is growing up to fast.  And I can't believe we are traveling to Alabama tomorrow for a week.  Packing us all up is a nightmare, and of course Brandon's work has him working crazy hours these past two days so I've been doing it pretty much all by myself.  The Joys of Army Life!  Luckily Micah is on a really good schedule now, and he takes amazing naps in his crib.  Of course, this happens right before we leave on a trip and it will all get messed up again :)

We have had lots of good bonding time.  I took this picture because Brandon is convinced Micah hates that pacifier and I keep telling him that Micah uses it during the day just fine.  Really Micah doesn't like any pacifiers, we barely ever use them, I couldn't even tell you where his favorite one is right now.

Of course with all these pictures with him having them in, it makes it look like he constantly has one!  I just think he looks so cute when he has it in and looking at me, so I tend to take pictures then.  Because if I take a picture without his paci in, this is what I get...

He doesn't like the flash, but sometimes if I take enough, I get a cute one..

Micah is so much more interactive now, and Brandon is absolutely loving it.  We play with his football rattle and his baseball a lot.  He also sits in his bumbo during playtime a lot.

Our house is being overran by baby toys.  And now that he is definately not fitting in newborn clothes, I'm having that struggle of do I save the adorable clothes in case we have another boy some day down the road?  Or do I go ahead and try to sell them?  My gut is to keep them, but at the same time, we might have like 5 moves between then, knowing the Army.  And same thing with all the gear, do we keep it, moving it from house to house or sell it?  I'm thinking most of the gear I will keep and I went through his newborn clothes and have my favorites boxed up for now.

This carrier is one of the things we got second hand...its baby bjorn for only $15..not bad!  This is how we will be traveling tomorrow, Brandon and Micah will be having bonding time in the plane.  (Don't you just love the Alabama socks with the Alabama onsie?)

Now it's time for me to stop putting off packing and cleaning the house..I'll let you know how this whole travel thing goes when we get back in a week!
