Micah at 9 Months

Can you believe Micah is already 9 months?! I can hardly believe in a few short months he’ll already be 1 year old! We just took Micah to his 9 month appointment, where he weighed in at 23lbs., 2 oz. and is 28 ¾ inches long (he might be a little longer, since he was not cooperating with the nurse! J) It’s so fun to see Micah learn new things! He’s at such a fun age! Oh, and thankfully, he finally got 2 teeth a couple weeks ago!!

Here are some things Micah loves:

- Crawling ALL over the place, especially to the bathroom to play with the scale

- Standing up and walk, by hanging onto our hands

- Eating (big surprise!) He especially loves his puffs, peaches and smoothies!

- Playing with his brown bear

- Throwing the ball to Daddy

- Going for a stroller ride outside

- Playing peek-a-boo



Here's an action shot of Micah crawling:


Looks like he found the mirror!


Cuddle time with Daddy before bed:

Amazing Deals!!

I love when Harris Teeter has their triple coupon event! Sometimes they have a Super Double Coupon event, where they double coupons up to $1.99!! Last time I didn’t really find many good deals at that one, but instead prefer the triple coupon. Last night, I found out that they were having their Super Double Coupon event, starting today! I looked through a few coupons, and quickly decided that it probably wasn’t worth my time (because last time we went sure wasn’t!) However, this morning, as I was looking through my coupons some more, I decided that we needed to go! We got all of these items for about $3.50!!! What great buys! Many of these items were free! We were so excited to get our good deals, and glad that we didn’t pass up this coupon event!

Date Night



I am so thankful for my wonderful husband, and for the time we were able to spend together Thursday night on a surprise date!! As Tim was leaving for work, he asked me to go get his wallet for him. There was a note for me with an invitation for dinner! I was so excited, and a little confused at first. He explained that a few weeks ago he had requested the evening off, and secretly planned a date night for us…even finding a babysitter for Micah!! Is he wonderful or what?! After bringing Micah to a family from our church, (they are so wonderful for watching Micah a few times for us!!) we headed to Cheesecake Factory, and then ended the night with watching a movie at home after picking up Micah. We were thankful for a short wait at dinner, a cute little booth for two, and half-priced cheesecake. (It was National Cheesecake Day!!) It was so great to be able to have a date mid-week, and be able to just sit and talk over an amazing meal. It was a little bit of a long week for me with a cranky baby who is teething very badly, so I definitely needed that refreshing time with my husband. Here's a picture of our evening. Thanks for such a fun surprise date night, Tim!!



And of course, I have to include a picture of our little cutie. Can you believe he's almost 9 months?!!
