He looks just like D! In fact it's hard to find any features distinct from his brothers at this point.

He is different in his "behavior" though. He would much rather sleep than eat. Daniel HAD to eat every 2 hours from start time to start time day or night or he would flip out. AND it would take him 45 mins to eat. Micah eats for maybe 20 minutes and will go anywhere between 2 and 3 1/2 hrs. I am liking this MUCH better!

Micah loves to be completely cuddled by blankets and mommy and hates to be cold/exposed to air. Diaper changes are at the top of his hate list.  Daniel didn't care either way. He was always so hot he almost preferred to be naked.

MEETING HIS BROTHER FOR THE FIRST TIME!

. 

He was very disinterested and preferred to run around the hospital room. After meeting Micah we shipped D up to PA to stay with Grandma and Papa Ermold for the week. It was nice so we could have a little adjustment period and I could heal a little from my c-section before he wants to climb all over me. He comes home tomorrow though and I am super excited to see him! He is in for a big surprise when he gets home and that baby is still here!

My recovery has gone soooo much better than it did after having Daniel. It definitely helped to not go through 2 failed inductions before the c-section! And the fact that we now have a bathroom on our level and I don't have to go up and down stairs several times a day has been a blessing as well.

Davey has been waiting on me hand and foot. He is just wonderful! I have done nothing but sit on the couch (which is also where I've been sleeping because it's easier sitting up than laying down), hold our new little miracle, feed him, and watch lots of HGTV, Food Network and TLC. #thelife

Dinner Time With D!

Cuteness

My cutie pie coloring with paint markers.
He only tried eating them a few times. Mostly to see if he could get a rise out of me!

He is already beginning to identify the sounds that some of the letters make thanks to Leap Frog Letter Factory! He kept pointing to the letters in his name and trying to tell me the sounds. He knows D and L pretty well.

He looks JUST like D!

Snow!

Today we had a 2 hour early dismissal so I got to come home early and play with my little man in the snow!

Ready for the snow!
 (He was more excited than he appears)

His first reaction to touching the snow.
"Yuck!"
Guess he's not a huge fan of how it feels.

He fell and had to touch the snow!

Daddy brought out the sled! 

Snow is way more fun when I don't have to touch it!

Cousin Love

Walk With Me

On Saturday we decided to get out of the house and take a walk. We went to the new walking trail in town. It's pretty back there and a nice change from the board walk where we usually go.

Walking down the trail.

D likes to pull this over his face. He said "cheese" when I took the picture though!

Lucky me. : )

cuteness

"What's daddy looking at?"
Actually I think D was more interested in his shoes than where Daddy was looking.

Hey mom!

He was waving at out shadows and saying "Hi!"

Choo Choo!

"Papa" Ermold has a train he sets up every Christmas. D LOVES it. I'm pretty sure he spent most of vacation down in the basement with "Papa" playing with the trains. He can turn it on and off and blow the train whistle. He is quite proud of himself.

Choooo, Choooo!

Look what I can do!
