Who needs a photographer??

Hey there.

Took Micah's 3 month pics today. My new LG G3 phone is amazing. They said it takes good pictures and they were right. I still have to play with it a little bit but so far it's easy. It still gets a little blurry because Micah moves so much.
Yesterday at a friends house we weighed him on her baby scale and he was 14 lbs 13oz. He had his diaper and a onesie. I am sure he is going to be at least 15 by his 4 month. Maybe more.
Please be praying for my little boy. I bought a noggin nest head support for him to lay in during the day. Its only for babies up to 4  months..it's supposed to help with flat head. I'm just a concerned mommy. His head is definitely not round but I am hoping it gets better with time. Also, you may think I'm crazy, but he looks perfect from the front. Its the back of his head thats flat. He's still the sweetest thing ever!!

Love you all..have a great Labor Day!!

Funny looks

Cooking Success

It Pulled!!! I tried the TENDERloin this time and the recipe worked. So it's true Pork Loin and Tenderloin are definitely different...The BBQ Pork Tacos turned out really good and it was so simple to make. That's my kind of cooking!

Seriously all I did was sear the pork tenderloin with steak seasoning on it. Cut up an onion and put it in the crockpot. Added almost two bottles of BBQ sauce to coat the whole thing and about 2 cups of water (or just enough to fill the pot halfway). Set it on low for 8 hours and BOOM. Just added some shredded cheese at the end. :)

I haven't been able to post in a few days since we went over on our data. I got a new phone and a LG tablet (for .99 cents) and when Craig and I got home we were using the wireless network to set everything up and I guess we used all our data up. This was HORRIBLE timing.
We have more data on our phones that at home, so from now on we decided NOT to use the wireless on our phones anymore.

So right when someone needs my help and I got my MAC computer all ready to go our internet stops working. I was trying to edit a video for a women in my life group and of course it became a whole lot more work without the internet. I tell you what.. the things I take for granted being able to send an email or look something up. Anyways, she brought it over with a USB and I was able to drag and drop it into the computer.

I am still trying to upload it to youtube... it's probably going to take several days because the internet it so slow. I am only typing this blog at 6 a.m. because once 8 a.m. hits the internet no longer works.

Other than that, everything is going really well. Craig starts his football draft soon which means I won't be seeing him much the next couple of weeks. He is also planning on going fishing with some guys on Labor Day.

Micah is getting so close to lifting his head.. I can feel it! I talked with the nurse yesterday and she said to wait until his four month appointment for the doctor to look at his flat head. She said to keep doing what I am with turning him different directions and trying not to keep him in the bouncer/carseat too long. I guess I just need to hold him more. I almost thought he was starting to teeth yesterday because he was a little grumpy and I never seen him like that. He was sticking his hands in his mouth a lot and slept more that usual. Uh oh.. Hope it's not happening this early!!

Love you all.

Hope you have a great week.

Goooodmorrrning Plano

Here's another  video of him and this time he is ready to run a marathon. 

In other news...

Ok... so I get to do what I love soon. Write, shoot, act and edit a short video for my friend that needs it for a bible study. She asked me to help her since she knew I was in the journalism business. So I wrote a small script and we are filming on Monday morning. We'll see how this goes having a 3 month old with me. I am also supposed to get my MAC computer today and it would be awesome to edit the video for her as well. I can't believe how busy I felt in the last few days. First having to record the song for Craig and now this bible study video. The title of this blog goes along with the video. We are doing an Extreme Makeover: Plastic Surgery Edition. If you ever watched the Extreme Makeover Home Edition he always goes up to the house and uses a megaphone and says Gooooodmooorning (insert name here) family. Then they come running out screaming like they had NO idea they were picked. haha
Our theme is obvious...you can have any plastic surgery that you want and it's all paid for. You can see where this is going. All of us girls in the Lifegroup are going to be in it. Well.. the ones who have kids and stay home during the day. We will see how easy it will be. There will be two babies, a one year old and two toddlers. Yikes!! All in good fun.

Look at Micah in this picture!! Got a big head going on. He is super smart, so that's prolly why! You can also see his widows peak (is that how you spell that?) Definitely takes after Craig in that way.

Last night I was able to record a parody of "Radioactive" for my husband's work. All the words have to do with AT&T Partner Exchange program. Don't ask me what it all means, but it was a lot of fun to do. We bought a Yeti microphone and recorded it. I might have to start recording more songs. I am really excited about that too. Craig bought me a Mac computer because I was to start editing and maybe even freelance one day. I am really excited. I have been dreaming of getting a MAC since after a graduated college in 2008!

Micah swam again today!! Super fun. He is just now getting up from his hour and a half nap. That's what I get when I get him swimming!! HEre is a little video of him talking and having fun in his crib!!

Love you all

Helmet head

Recently I've seen a lot of babies wearing helmets. This makes me a little nervous because I've noticed Micah has been mostly turning his head to the right. I think it's my job to worry about every little thing. I don't want to obsess over anything too much cuz I'll go crazy.  Has this thing been going on for a long time? I guess I've never NOTICED babies wearing helmets for flat head. Did they have this back when I was little? There are so many things I am learning as a parent. Most things I worry about are the ones I have no control over. I will keep an eye on it and ask at His 4 month appointment. 

I was reading up on this and I realized that our parents put us on our bellies to sleep. No wonder we never saw this growing up. I see how common it is now. I 've been asking around and it seems like every baby gets it. Some might be more severe than others. I am now putting a washcloth under him to make him sleep on the other side of his head.
He still isn't lifting his head up while on his tummy. Once he does this I think his head shape will get better.

I went to Ross and bought 6 month Sleepers!! How did this happen? He can't seem to stretch out his legs anymore in his pjs.  He is growing up too fast. I know I always say that, but it so true.

He wore a cute vest for church on Sunday and I took a picture. He is dong great in the nursery!

I got a new phone on Saturday and we were trying out the camera feature (since that's a big reason I bought it) and Craig snapped this photo. I cannot believe his face in this. What a goober!! I just love it. I should blow this on up and put it in his room. haha

Love you all!!!
