Micah "played" in the leaves today. He was mostly afraid of the sound they made when they moved around. We got a few pictures of him not crying but it wasn't easy.
We are at my parents' house for the week, we came in town for Matthew's 1st birthday party yesterday and are staying until after Thanksgiving. Micah got his own present at the party wrapped in tissue so he could open it. Here he is:
In anticipation of colder weather, I bought Micah a sweater this weekend. Here he is modeling it for everyone to see.
Zac got home this afternoon from his end of the week conference in San Francisco. Micah & I were both glad he's home. I think Micah is more excited so he'll have someone else to play with tomorrow. Here they are playing together before bath time. Zac was eating Micah's hands which was the funniest thing Micah had ever seen.
Micah & Daddy watched the Texans lose a close game today. Micah was actually playing a little more than he was watching, but both had fun. This is a lamb blanket that was given to Micah & now he likes laying on it and eating it. He got into a wrestling match with it and I think he won!
Micah can rock back and forth on his knees. He can get up on his knees on his own every once in a while, but he really rocks if you put him on his knees. Here he is today and wrestling with the lamb.
Micah was very tired today, he & I had played hard. Zac gave him his bath and then a bottle and Micah appeared to go right to sleep. I took this cute picture of him, but after a few minutes it was evident that he was just playing possum! That's a trick he must have learned from his Aunt Casey.
We took a few pictures of him playing before his bath. He was unusually silly and giggling tonight.
Micah decided tonight that he could get up on all fours when Zac was bathing him. Here he is in the bath and then one of them together afterwards! He can get up on his knees in his bed and now in his bath!
Here is one of them together afterwards!
Micah turned six months old on Monday. We went to the doctor for his check-up and shots the same day. He weighed in at 17 pounds 10 ounces and was 26 1/2" long. He is really getting big now. He is working to perfect his skills at sitting on his own. He is getting really good at eating his solids without much prodding for him to open his mouth. Today he started really opening his mouth every time he saw the spoon. He will be starting meat next week or as soon as I can get to the store to buy it! Here are a few pictures from today. Zac & I sat him on the bed to take a few pictures of him and he decided to sit up off the pillows and sit like a big boy. Here he is "helping" hold his feet up while Zac changes a dirty diaper.
