Micah is TWO!!

It felt like the blink of an eye, but our little man is now officially two years old!.  We did not have a party for him this year, but we did have a lot of fun to celebrate his special day.  No presents or cake, just a day with his family.  :)

We were camping at Golden Ears Provincial Park leading up to his birthday.  We had beautiful weather our whole trip, but woke up that morning to quite a bit of rain.  We packed everything up and headed home to get dry.  We tried singing "Happy Birthday" to him, but each time he would rapidly shake his head, say "no!" and try to push us away.  I don't think he realizes how FUN birthdays are yet.

August 13th just happened to be Pirate Pack Day at Whitespot, so the kids decided this would be the best place to celebrate.  A portion of each Pirate Pack sold goes to help a kid with a disability or life-threatening illness get to experience summer camp at Zajac Ranch.  Awesome!  Even us parents got to order a Pirate Pack.  Micah was pretty thrilled and he ate everything in the boat...except the ice-cream.

 

I cannot believe what a sweet little guy that Micah is.  He has definitely started acting like an independent little man and I can see that the baby of last year is officially gone.  He is starting to talk more and is putting a couple of 2-word sentences together.  He is still animal obsessed....mostly with dogs.  We have to stop and say "hi" to every dog we see.  He has dropped his afternoon nap almost completely now, but sleeps well at night.  He has discovered stuffed animals and won't go to sleep without them.  He knows each of them by name. 

When we pray together as a family, he covers his eyes with his hands and waits for the "amen".  So cute!  You can see him peeking through his fingers and watching what everyone else is doing.

His favorite outfit is his basketball tank and shorts.  If it is available, he chooses to wear this always. 

 

He has discovered movies.  He LOVES Finding Nemo ("Meemo") and would watch it everyday if I let him.  He has also discovered hitting, which I am not too proud of.  It doesn't help that his brother and sisters laugh at him when he does it.  :(  He hates getting dirty, prefers not to wear shoes and has finally found one meat he likes to eat (ham)! 

 

 

I look forward to the next year of development for Micah.  He is a joy to be around and we love him so much!
