Micah is 10 Months Old!

Our busy little Micah

Oh my, we are getting closer to the one year mark!! I cannot believe it has already been 10 months since our little Micah was born. We just went to one of his buddies first birthday and the reality started to set in that we are going to be celebrating Micah's first birthday very soon!

It's been a very busy month for Micah. He took his first of many trips to Schlitterbahn with Ryan's side of the family. He was not too wild about the water park...but, I'm willing to bet that is going to change soon. He did get to have some special one-on-one time with Ma-Ma while Ryan, Jonas and I went to the park.

A couple of weeks later, we took a family trip out to Monahans to visit my side of the family. It was the first time my grandparents got to meet Micah, so it was a very special trip for me. It was a great family reunion....read my previous blog to see all about it!!

Lately, Micah has been all over the place. He's pulling up on everything and trying to climb up on things...anything he can pull his little legs up on to. He has stood up on his own without holding on quite a few times...but, as soon as he takes a step he falls right back down. (That's ok with me....I'm not ready for him to walk, yet.) He is becoming more independent each day. He used to get sooooo upset when I would walk 3 feet away from him or out of his sight. The last few days he has been leaving my side!! Today he kept going into different rooms...without me!! Yea, Micah! I actually could not find him at one point.....yes, he's getting to be very adventurous!

He also has a growing appetite. If you ever get the chance to spend some time with us during a meal, it is quite the sight to behold to see him eat. He loves food!! He talks through his whole meal. Really, I think he is telling to me or Ryan to keep the food coming! It's amazing how much he eats and how he slowly puts on the weight....I so wish I had his metabolism!!

His little personality is really blossoming, too. He love, loves, loves his brother. Jonas can walk into the room and and Micah will get so excited! He goes right to him. I love to see how Jonas is with him, too. He's an amazingly sweet and kind big brother (who has his moments, too). Micah is talking a lot more, too. He "talks" to us all of the time. He uses basically one sign all of the time...and it's his own version of "more." He shakes his right hand up and down at us....he's so cute!

So, we have two months to go. I wonder what he'll accomplish in that time?!?!

Current Stats:
Weight--16lb. 1oz.
Length--28in.
Teeth--4
Nursings--2 (Morning and night now...that's awesome!)

Snacks--3 per day
Morning nap--30-45 minutes (I guess he's working his way out of it)

Favorite foods--blueberries, mashed potatoes, sweet peas, lasagna, Magic Pops rice cakes, all other types of rice cakes, goldfish, pears, bananas, lucky charms, pizza, and powdered sugar donuts! (Don't worry...we feed him a lot of healthy foods, too....that's why these are his favorites.)
