Changing everyday...

It seems like the Merchant house just cant get well! Micah and I have both been sick for a week now. Wade, luckily, has not caught anything. Micah is feeling much better now, but me....not so great still. I missed 2 days of work this week, but I'm back today...on a Friday..yuck!

I took a few pictures last night of Micah playing. He was so funny. First, he was walking all over on his little walker...then he made it to my bedroom and decided to take out everything I had in this bag sitting by the floor. After he got each thing out of the bag and realized that I was standing there watching him he didn't know whether to cry or laugh so he did a little of both until he realized that he was not in trouble. I took him in the living room and him and Wade were playing around and then all the sudden Micah was passed out asleep. It was so funny. He is not quiet as tough as he thinks he is!!!!

New news.....My last day at work will be Feb 27. I will be staying home with Micah for awhile. I'm looking forward to the time with him. It will definitely be a change for me because I'm used to working, but I think this will be good for us.

Since I wont be at work everyday anymore after next week I might not be able to update this as much. We don't have the Internet at home yet, but I will do my best to update at least every other week!!!

Oh yes...I needed to tell yall...Micah has been taking steps! He does this all the time now. He took 5 the other night and then fell down, but he gets right back up and tries again. He usually takes about 2 at a time. It's so cute!!!!

Just for fun

I hope everyone had a good weekend! We had a small photo shoot the other night!!!! Enjoy.

ER trip :(

Well our little monster had his first trip to the ER on Monday night. We arrived around 10:30 and we were in a room by 11:30. He started feeling bad Sunday afternoon and running a high fever. I thought it was just because he was teething since he also had diarrhea, BUT I was wrong. Well Monday he was not feeling well at all and acting pitiful and then around 1:00 he started throwing up, so we knew it was more than just his teeth. His temp was up to 104.4 and that really scared us. We decided it was time to take him to the hospital because he would not drink anything and his temp would not come down. They said they were glad we brought him in because he was getting dehydrated. They hooked our poor baby up to a IV, which was awful, and then they wrapped this big old thing around his arm so he wouldnt pull the IV out. He did not like that at all. He slept a lot while we were there and his fever continued to stay up, but FINALLY after being there until 11 the next morning his temp started going down and he was getting a little more energy to sit up and stuff. All his test came back fine...he just had a very bad stomach virus and needed some fluids in his body so he would not dehydrate. He seems to be feeling a little more alive today. He smiled this morning and crawled around a little, but he is still kind of weak. He finally ate a jar of baby food last night and kept it down. He also has been drinking some gatorade, so hopefully that will help him too. Keep my little man in your prayers. I will keep yall posted.

Bath time is ALWAYS fun!!!!

Micah LOVES his baths :) This is him playing in the tub before American Idol last night! It's so much fun to just put him in there and watch him play now. He is all over the place!

Look who has curtains!

Haha I finally put some curtains up. They arent the ones I was wanting, but they will work for now. It does help to make it look a little more cozy!

Us at Zayda's birthday party!

Mom and Micah

Zayda is 2!!

My niece, Zayda, turned 2 on January 16th. We had her a little party at my mother in laws Saturday afternoon. We call her Zayda bug, so it made since to have her party in lady bugs! Notice the really cute cupcakes...I did those!

Micah!

Here are a few pictures I took of Micah Saturday morning. He was being so funny and into everything. He tries to half crawl and half walk now. It looks so funny. He is getting TOOOO big! Makes me a little sad that he is growing up so fast, but I absolutely love the way he is right now! He is so much fun.
