My first time swimming

I absolutely adore this photo. We took it at the end of May when the weather started to get warmer. This is the first time that we put Micah in the swimming pool. He was a bit shy at first but we think he really loved the adventure.

Micah will kill daddy in later years for taking this photo. But daddy couldn’t help himself…

Cute AND smart!

The Guardian

Micah now has a protector and guardian with his older brother Boomer. While doing yard work today, we caught Boomer protecting Micah while he slept:

Micah also wants Boomer to look the same as him (please refer to the Dandy Lion post) so he placed a dandelion on his head:

The guardian photo looks cute but it is actually rather amazing because Boomer treats babies and small kids the same as he treats cats. He is LEERY of cats and honestly chooses to ignore the fact that cats exist. We saw this behavior with his cousins Jake, Matthew, and Ian. Boomer has been avoiding Micah since he was born. 12 weeks later, though, Boomer is starting to accept his new/future tormentor. He is still hesitant about Micah but at least will sniff him for a few seconds. I even saw him give Micah a lick on his face the other day. No photo unfortunately…

Dandy Lion

Micah and Daddy went for a walk by ourselves yesterday while Theresia got some well deserved alone time. Daddy took advantage of the opportunity to decorate the butter monkey and violate his destroy his masculine reputation.
