Moments

Sometimes I wish I could watch all of my favorite moments in movie form..

Like that moment when I was reading Micah his bedtime story and Matt hid behind the book and, to Micah's delight, would jump up and make the noise of whatever animal I mentioned.. So of course I named every animal that I could possibly think of to see what kind of a sound he comes up with.

Or the time when all three of us were in bed eating chocolate (we all have those days right?) and Micah is just so interested in the box of reese's pieces.  So Matt closes the box and hands it to him. Micah shakes it and is as happy as can be.  I take the box and get some candy and give it back, Micah continues to shake it only this time candy goes everywhere! And he just keeps on shaking.  We are laughing so hard we can hardly stop him, and when we do he goes straight for the candy.

Then there are always moments like tonight when Matt wants to show me a song so he puts it on and then dances with me as we listen :)

Also tonight, Micah couldn't fall asleep so I finally took him to our bed and laid with him hoping it would help.  (Usually he hates being held while he is trying to fall asleep, but lately he seems to like it better) He wiggled for a while, but then he was very still.  I thought for sure he was asleep, but when I looked at him his eyes were wide open and he was just staring.  He would stop sucking on his paci every now and then to smile, and I could tell he was on the verge of laughing.  I put my hand on his tummy and he would give a little tired giggle.  Same would happen if I put my hand on his knee.  He would never look over or get more awake.. Just stare off and giggle.  It was so cute.

I love the moments when we aren't even trying to get Micah to laugh and all of sudden he starts to giggle at the funniest things.  Like when Matt was cleaning up and he threw a cup in the sink.  The sound really cracked Micah up!  So then of course he went on to picking up all sorts of things and Micah just laughed and laughed.  I'm pretty sure it's the most we have heard him laugh.

I love these sweet moments with my boys. 

I am so blessed to have my little family.  They mean the world to me! Life is so great.
