Eating habits


OK, so Micah has this fairly odd eating habit, although with toddlers, is anything really normal? For instance today for lunch I gave him his plate or cheese quesadilla pieces, lunch meat slices and grapes. As usual, he picked up a bite of quesadilla, put it in his mouth, chewed twice, took it back out of his mouth and placed it to the right of his plate. Then he picked up a grape, chewed it twice, took it back out of his mouth and place it to the right of his plate. Next, he picked up a piece of lunch meat, chewed it twice, and, you guessed it, took it back out of his mouth and placed it to the right of his plate. Then, he takes a drink and eats normally for the rest of the meal, saving the partially chewed morsels for last. Interesting. Why do all of my Micah stories have to do with food? Those who know him best would know why. Let's just say the boy likes his snacks!

The WHOLE family


We are so blessed to have Josh and Jess living close by. The boys will grow up playing with their cousins just like I did. Olivia is 10 months younger than Elijah. Garrett is 1 month younger than Micah, and Jess is going to have another baby in December who will be 8 months younger than Isaiah. This is everyone on the couch with Jess trying to keep Garrett from picking his nose. :)

Elijah: If school were a human I'd give it a wedgie.
Elijah: I am like a hot rod and I just want to be a plain old Ford
Elijah on the fruits of the spirit: I've got them all covered except self-control. Its like a tiny green tomato and the rest are all big ripe ones. Especially love. Its like the biggest tomato we saw in the garden tonight.
