14 Months

Mr. Micah man turned 14 months on March 26th. I recently held a friend's 4 month old son, and it's so hard to remember Micah being that small (and immobile too)!

Following the trend of my friend, Amanda, here are fourteen fun facts about Micah.

1) Mobility!! We are in constant motion, making it difficult to get a good picture of Micah. He is fully walking and now starting to run
2) Outside - Micah's favorite activity is being outside. Whether it would be riding in his stroller, being chased around the backyard, running after Brutus, or picking up rocks from our patio, this kiddo loves being outside. And, this beautiful, spring weather is making us get outside as much as possible these days.
3) Books - Micah continues to enjoy having books read to him. His favorite books currently are "Puppy Count", "Where's my Puppy", and "Ten Little Puppies". Do you notice a trend here...?!
4) Brutus is one of Micah's best friends. Micah loves sharing toys with him, and when he thinks Brutus may be chasing him. Brutus loves Micah's willingness to share snacks.
5) Gentle - we've been trying to teach Micah the concept of gentle. Micah is unfortunately in a hitting phase, hitting Brutus, Kyle and myself and even himself when he gets upset. We hope that this phase will pass soon...
6) Infant room - Micah continues to attend daycare at least 3-4 days/week. He's currently in the infant room and will transition to the toddler room at the end of May. He is surrounded by a lot of little ones, and is the oldest in the room by over 6 months. I am actually looking forward to his transition to the toddler room, where he will be surrounded by others around his age.
7) Sleeping so well - I hate bragging, because it eventually backfires on me, but Micah has been generally sleeping 11-12 hours a night. Lets hope it continues.
8) Milk - Micah is currently drinking whole milk. He still gets one 2-3 ounce bottle in the evening, as we use up his last box of formula. He has transitioned to a sippy cup during the day, but needs help holding onto it and tipping it upside down. Our goal for this month is to independently use a sippy cup.
9) Cheese, yogurt, and mac and cheese, and goldfish are all favorites of Micah's.
10) "Truck" is the recent new word, and it gets said approximately 100 times/day.
11) Cooking - this kiddo loves to be in the kitchen with me. If he has a bowl of snacks - usually goldfish or Kix cereal, he will stir it with a plastic spoon.
12) Clothes - Micah is generally wearing 18-24 month clothes and size 5 diapers.
13) Playgroups - Micah attends ECFE "Bearly Toddler" class on Friday mornings and MOPS on Wednesday mornings. He loves playing at the gym at ECFE and using the sensory table. He does not like to sit for story or craft time.
14) Teeth - Micah has 12 teeth altogether and is working on more as I type this. He has the front 4 on the top and bottom and all 4 of his first year molars. He's currently working on the top two incisors.

Here are a few recent pictures of Micah:

Look at the cute curl off the the left. I love it!

Story time with Daddy. Check out the front of his shirt. It's saturated with drool, supporting that he is working on more teeth....
