A weekend with Aunt Heidi

Micah (and Tim and I) had a great weekend visiting with Aunt Heidi. We headed to the beach on Friday, and Micah got to wear the adorable outfit that Heidi gave to him around the time he was born. Hey - it's Polo! He looked so stylish.
Although we've taken him walking on the beach before and we had our Christmas pictures taken there, this was really the first time that Micah got to play in the sand. We lathered him up with sunscreen and turned him loose. He loved the texture of the sand and ran his fingers through it a lot. He even started to play with toys we picked up for him. And then he got tired of the hat. Luckily the umbrella kept him out of the direct sun. Notice the tiny Crocs he's wearing! Tim and I haven't jumped on the Crocs bandwagon ourselves, but these were the only shoes that the CVS had in his size and I wanted him to have something to protect his feet. Aunt Heidi and Micah enjoy the warm weather together in Redington Shores. It was 14 degrees when Heidi left Boston so a day in the 80 degree weather at the beach was a great change for her! Micah got pretty tired toward the end of our beach time, which included a walk with Mom - although he rode in the Snugli. When we got back, I laid Micah down, but the sand was blowing a little in the wind and some got in his eyes. Although he didn't cry, he didn't really like it so we packed up and left.
That night before bed, Micah had some fun with his aunt. Yeah, he's got a lot of chins...
Monday brought a trip to Clearwater to see a spring training baseball game between the Phillies and the Pirates. Here's Ryan Howard, a great home run hitter for the Phils, although we didn't see any homeruns today. We were sitting pretty close to the action though!

Daddy and Micah together at Micah's first baseball game. Notice that Micah is wearing his Phillies colors in this picture...

...which we replaced with his Pirates outfit halfway through the game so that Micah could show his support for both teams equally.

Thanks for a great visit, Aunt Heidi - we can't wait to come and visit you in Boston! And we'll post a picture of Micah in his new official Phillies outfit when he wears it. Thanks for getting it for him!
