Baseball and Krispy Kreme

Julie and I had the great opportunity to take Micah on his first Krispy Kreme trip. We joined the students whose parents are Out-of-Country missionaries and ate too many donuts. For us actually too many is 1.With pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training, I thought it important to give Micah his first baseball. He grabbed it on his first time and when he made his first error, dropping it on the play mat, he was able to pick it up quickly with his LEFT HAND. Although left handedness is not a trait I usually admire, when it comes to being a picther in the bigs, it is GOLD. It is what I call Million dollar mediocrity.

Micah's First Swim Lesson

Micah enjoys the water just like his parents. He has a strong kick, at least during the back stroke, and can float on his back with the assistance of his lovely teacher.

Safety First

Ever the Bechtel, Micah poses for the annual "Safety First" public service announcement photographs (baby version). He knows that the drop from the changing table to the ground is a terrifying 2.5 feet and so he holds tightly to the rails, just as mamma taught him.

Bear-ly Dressed

As the weather has gotten colder in Daejon, we have had to make sure the Micah is properly dressed for the winter chill. Of course Micah is concerned about looking good, not understanding the old adage "fashion doesn't keep you warm". As you can see his outfit is both cozy and fashionable. In fact on the day he first wore it to the nursery, he won the coveted Ms. Kim best dressed award. "Micah....best dressed" she said.

After this event, Julie wanted to take some self portraits for the website and as you can see, Micah was less than thrilled, even going to the extent of pushing Julie out of the shot.
