Micah is so super sweet and happy. Johnny keeps saying to me that he doesn't remember the other kids being this cute and smiley all the time. I remind him that they were...it was just a LONG time ago! He definitely has a special place in both our hearts and we are so glad we decided to go for number 4. With kids this sweet, maybe we should have a fifth! (just kidding)
Micah is on the move all the time these days. He loves to explore. There are always lots of toys and other junk on the floor for him to check out (despite my best efforts at keeping this place tidy, it is impossible with 3 other messy children living here). We have had to finally put up the baby gates to keep him semi-contained. He is officially climbing up a full flight of stairs, cruising around furniture and he has even started letting go of the supportive surface while standing (only momentarily, but it is a start!).
Likes:
His Mama - he basically only wants to be with me (which I am totally fine with). :)
Balls - he loves to roll a ball back and forth.
Cars - he has a favorite green car that he pushes around constantly. He loves to make the "Vvvvv" sound while pushing it.
Dislikes:
Diaper changes - he screams and rolls over the moment I try to lay him down for a diaper change. I have had to start changing him in the standing position. This is fine for wet diapers, but it gets a bit challenging when they are messy. Thankfully, we only do three changes a day....first thing in the morning, after his afternoon nap and before bed. He is a pretty regular kid!
Eating - he is getting better, but he really does not like solid foods. He is not at all adventurous with new foods and spits almost everything out. He accepts Cheerios, bananas, grapes and watermelon. I am still giving him baby cereal and breast feeding lots to make sure that he is getting enough nutrients!
Going to bed at night - he is a serious night owl. He will not go to bed before 10pm. At least he is now sleeping much longer chunks of time....This morning he didn't wake up until 5am. That is a whole 7 hours of sleep!! This makes me very happy. He is much better at going down for a nap during the day and only cries for a few minutes before dropping off for a lovely 2-3 hour nap.
Eye-drops - Micah has been battling an eye infection for the past five weeks. We have seen three different doctors and been on 2 different eye medications. It still looks swollen and sore (although so much better). Poor guy!
I am so incredibly thankful for this little guy. He is such a joy and is totally adored!
