Micah turns 1

Micah is hurrying just as fast as his little legs can carry him to catch up to his brothers. He enjoyed his birthday and all the attention that came with turning 1 year old!

 

Micah: 9 Months

Weight: 18 lbs
Height: 27.5 inches

Likes: Eating EVERYTHING, playing with brothers, climbing on stuff and making messes
Hates: sleeping!

Micah: 6 Months

Six Month Stats:
Weight: 16 lbs
Height: 26.5 inches

Micah is pretty much the same size as Silas was at this age, and hitting the milestones about the same point. However, by six months old, Titus was already crawling and was almost 20 lbs.
Anyway, Micah started sitting up a bunch around five months:

Now at six months, he loves to roll across the room and scoot around... not quite crawling, but getting up on his hands and knees and checking things out.

His main accomplishments are still sleeping, eating, and pooping, but now with more variety. I can't take a picture of him sleeping because he is super sensitive about the light and only likes to sleep if he can't see ANYTHING - otherwise he must be up and interacting and playing!

Eating... Micah loves getting big pieces of bananas, apples, oranges, zucchini, tomato, cucumber... really just about anything he can chow down on.

Pooping... Micah has a very intense pooping face. I tried to take a picture of it but his "I'm about to poop" face quickly turned into an "I want to eat your camera" face. But trust me, it's unmistakeable. And because of that, I find it easier to rush him over to the potty chair and rip his diaper off and let him do it in the toilet rather than change a big messy poopy diaper 10 minutes later. We do the sign language for pooping while he sits there. Who knows if this will help him potty train at an earlier age, but for now it works for us!

Micah: 4 Months

At four months old, Micah was:
14 lbs, 4 oz.
25 inches long
wearing 3 month size clothes
rolling over frequently (front to back)
sitting up unassisted for 30 seconds

Micah: 3 months

Micah's accomplishments at 3 months old include rolling over (front to back), smiling and giggling, and sucking his fingers/thumb/whatever he can keep in his mouth. There's still no agreement on who he looks most like.

Here he is trying to look like big brother Silas:

Micah: 2 months

Wow, two months have flown by! Micah has grown from 8 lbs, 2 oz and 20 inches to 
11 lbs, 3 oz and 22 inches long.

Silas at 2 months: 12 lbs, 4 oz and 23 inches long
Titus at 2 months: 13 lbs, 14 oz and 24 inches long

Looks like little brother has some catching up to do! But don't worry, he's just as cute!

This is Micah

This is Micah getting loved on by his brothers:

 This is Micah's favorite place:

 This is Micah when he's not in his favorite place and he wants to be:

 This is Micah saying, "Grandma, please come snuggle me so mommy can get something done."

 Cause who can resist this smile?
