Boo man.


From the back he looks perfect...we love that little towhead of his.

We really like Micah around here. He makes us laugh and sometimes cry (darn eczema). Maybe it's all those tears that have made the good times with him that much sweeter.

He's made lots of progress lately (insert sigh of relief). He's been crawling for the past 2 months, he just learned how to climb stairs, will walk with us holding one hand (maybe walking in a few weeks?), and gained some weight. He loves to take laps around the coffee table...about a dozen each time, as fast as his stumpy legs will carry him. All this movement has made for a happier boy. I think being mobile distracts him from feeling miserable. He also enjoys the park and the swing and slide at long last.

Newest signs: hat (patting head), fish (swimming hand in front), pacifier (sucking noises), change diaper (pat hip), yucky (wiggle hands under chin), cracker (drop RT elbow into left palm), book (clap hands together), frog (sticking tongue out), daddy (hard to explain), sleep (put hand on side of head)

New words: "zhooz" (shoes), "ah da" (all done), "ka" (car), "kaka" (cracker), "sss-nah" (snow), "kee" (key) and "nah" (no) is another favorite.

What a sweet boy. Thanks for the video! I loved getting to see him in action! Darling words. So true...when our hearts expand because of heartache, it just makes more room for joy when the good days or moments arrive.

I still feel the effects of more joy because of the heartache. And that little boy is starting Sunbeams tomorrrow. Can you believe it???? I can't.
