Micah Pants is sick

Today was a very tough day. Micah has been sick for a couple of days now and it is hard when you see your child suffering and all you want to do is take the sickness away. He was clingy, whiny and grumpy. It doesn't help that there's quite a few teeth coming out as well. He didn't even want his Dad to give him a bath. He cried before the bath and cried after. He cried in his sleep so I ended up rocking him back and forth until he fell asleep in my arms. This of course led to me become emotional while holding him. I felt so sorry for him. He had so much mucus in his nose that he is breathing with the mucus sound going in and out. I wish I could take it all away buddy. I am sure things will be much better tomorrow.

The Weekend...

....was pretty busy for us. Micah and I went to our baby sign language class on Saturday. We learned a few more helpful signs like - 'change', 'wet', 'dirty', 'bed', 'bath', 'pain', 'I Love You' and lots more. I am so looking forward to the day he makes his first sign. My little guy is still sick (cough and cold) but it doesn't stop him from motoring around the house. He has become a busy little bee and with that comes a lot of falling down and hitting his head on the floor, walls, chairs and under the table. I'm sure he has become familiar with the 'pain' sign the other day because he must have fallen and hit his head 5 times. He seems to get cuter by the day. Mark and I are just so into our kid, it's not even funny. Anyway, here are a few pics of my little warrior today.

Here's Micah playing with his 'Predator' truck book. He looks like such a little boy in this picture - I love it.


Gotta love his red hockey hoodie


And of course a big smile for everyone


Evie (Mark's sister) came and hung out with us on Saturday night and we had a great visit with her. She totally adores Micah and Micah loves his Auntie Evie. I also managed to go check out Midpark Christian Assembly church this morning. I am in the process of looking for another church this year. One that is a little bit smaller than the last chuch that I have been going to. Also one that is non-discriminating and will accept you for who you are no matter what. I am doing this because I feel it in my heart. It is time for me to get back into my spiritual realm again. Anyway, I hope to check out a few more churches in the following Sundays. Any recommendation would be appreciated.

So our weekend was pretty busy but it was spent well with family.

Last but not least...a video of MP.

Here is Micah crawling after Cassy's water bowl





Enjoy!

Micah's First Cold

So my little guy has finally gotten his first cold. I think he got it from our swimming trip to the Talisman Centre. He is coughing and have a very runny nose. This means, not a whole lot of sleep for Mark and I. I totally feel sorry for him. Every time he coughs he's got this awful look on his face...like it's painful and he doesn't understand why it keeps on happening. Also, every time he sneezes (which is like every second) mucus will come flying out from his nose and spit from his mouth. It is such a little cute sneeze but I have to struggle with him to wipe his nose every time he sneezes. I bought him the softest 3 ply tissue I could ever find at Safeway today. We've been giving him Tempra and hope that it will pass pretty soon. Right now, we are just taking it easy and not going out to the malls at all. Good thing I'm done my Christmas Shopping :)

Anyway, I have been going to the Hot Yoga once a week for 3 months now and I love it! I love it because it is soooo so good for your body and a great way for me to escape and forget about everything and focus on myself. I also love it because I get to leave Micah with Mark and they do just fine. Mark would know when to feed him, change him or when to put him to bed. He even gives him a bath without me...very impressive! I am very lucky because I get to go away and spend some time by myself and It is such a great way for the two of them to hang out once a week without Mom.

Mark is such an awesome dad! He knows Micah so well and Micah knows him. I guess this is a plus when you work for yourself. You get to come home whenever you want, work less hours and make twice or three times the mula. I was thinking today, on my way to the hot yoga that if I ever croak and die (which will never happen coz I am going to live till I'm 100 :), that my son will be well taken care of. I am soo thankful that Micah will grow up to know an amazing father. ...and of course a very cool Mom :)

Anyway I do really have to go to bed...I know it's going to be another tough night.

Ciao for now,
K
