8 and a half months old

Life has just gotten busier!  Micah is now a crawling machine and loves to explore the house.  He has discovered the "Tupperware drawer", as well as all the bookshelves in the house.  It is so fun to watch him discover new things.

 
Micah crawls with his right foot up and his left knee down.  It is not a very efficient way to crawl, but he has figured out that it works for him.
 


He has also discovered how to get up onto his feet, although he is not yet moving around this way.

 
His current sounds are "ba", "f", "da" and he loves to make the kissing sound. 
 
 
He still does not like the highchair (too restricting), but he is starting to take a few solid foods.  So far he has eaten MumMum cookies, rice puffs, banana chunks and cut-up grapes.  I attempted to give him avocado too, but he spit that out right away.  He still has only 6 teeth.

 
Micah's sleeping pattern is now worse than when he was a newborn.  I have been up every hour for the past few nights.  He shares a room with Shaylah, so I jump up and get him the moment he makes a noise so that he doesn't wake his sister up.  It has created a child that does not know how to soothe himself back to sleep when he wakes up at night.  It is so ridiculous right now.  Sleep training worked the first time (for a little while!), so I just have to get up the energy to do it again.  He is such a joyful baby during the day though, so I guess I can't complain too much about the nights.

 
 
He is currently wearing size 12-18 month clothes and size three diapers.  I have just had to put all my favorite little Robeez shoes away and bring out the bigger sizes (so sad!).
