Good news and bad

Well, the good news is that Micah is finally back on the road to feeling better. The cough medicine the doctor gave us is great and is helping him get rested so he can visit everyone next week. I was hoping to be done with the medicine, but he still has a cough sometimes so it's better just to keep giving it to him until all traces of sickness are gone.
Now on to the bad news...he was starting to crawl before he got sick and now...nothing. He forgot all of it! I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before he remembers, but he's back to the army crawl.
Here are a few pictures of him playing yesterday, he was on the hunt for Zac's slippers under a chair and one of him today before we left to run errands. He's getting more hair and looks more like a little boy instead of a baby every day.

Long time

Wow...it's been a long time since I've sat down and updated everyone on what Micah has been up to. Well, in a nutshell...everything! He's still not crawling, but he's so close it's painful to watch. He can efficiently scoot across the room to something and get into anything. He is getting very frustrated that he can't crawl yet, he gets on his knees and stares at his hands as if he is saying, move me forward, but he can't put it all together yet.


He is really enjoying his solid foods, he's a great eater. We started meat tonight with a few tablespoons of turkey & rice dinner. He seemed to like it after a few bites, he followed the turkey up with his favorite, apples & blueberries! I'm lucky that he's patient, he doesn't cry in the high chair while I'm getting ready, he just plays with whatever I give him and waits until I'm ready to feed him. He also doesn't cry when it's gone, although it does make me wonder if he's full enough.
He still only has two teeth on the bottom, who knows when he'll get more, but he is chewing on everything. We decorated the house after Thanksgiving, here is Micah "playing" with the lights. Don't worry, we were right there, he didn't eat any lights.

He is now 7 months old and talks like crazy. He can say "da da" and usually choses to yell it at me. It's very annoying because he can say "ma ma" but really favors "da da" right now. He doesn't know who "da da" is, only that it's fun to say. He is a really fun kid right now, I am really enjoying this period and watching him discover his surroundings each day.
