Outdoor fun!

Who knew lawnmowers could be so much fun? We were over at my parents' house the other day, helping dad cut a tree down that had been an eyesore for quite some time. (my brother started referring to this tree as the "poop tree" because it looked like it had little turds hanging from the branches!) :) Dad had purchased a cart to pull behind his lawnmower for just such an occasion, making carting the branches back to the pile in the backyard easier, as well as with the thought that carting grandkids around in it would be fun for everyone. And it is!

Aaron even got in on the riding...

When Micah saw how much fun that was, he had to have a turn too. I don't have any pictures of his first ride with daddy and Uncle Jim, but I got a short video...

And here's a shot of Micah and me in the cart... not the most comfortable ride in the world for me, but Micah loved it!

When we weren't outside going for rides in the lawnmower cart, we were inside playing with the "command center" Grannie Jannie invested in for play at their house. I tell you, whoever came up with the idea for the exersaucer was a genius! There are things to look at, play with, and chew on, all at an arm's reach away. Plus, we can step away for a second and know that Micah isn't going anywhere. :) Our "command center" has come in handy many times when I'm in desperate need of a shower and Micah isn't in nap mode just yet.

I don't know about any of you, but I think Micah is looking more and more like Aaron every day! (Which, in my opinion also means he's getting more and more handsome!) :) I took a few pictures of him in this outfit from "Uncle" Nino and got a few that I can just see Aaron in...

Micah got tired of the photo session after a little while and decided it was snuggle time with his lamb ~

And just for grins, here's a little video of playtime with the penguin from Uncle Jim. I LOVE the smile I got at the end ~
