Go Micah! 

Micah's Favorite Things!

I thought I'd share a few of Micah's favorite things!

1. Fresh Pureed Peaches: He'll eat these for breakfast, lunch, & dinner! To make sure that he eats his veggies, I'll blend them with some peaches...Green Beans avec Peaches, anyone?

2. VTech Learn & Discover Driver: This has recently become one of Micah's favorite toys.  He especially loves to press the radio button and pull back and forth on the brake. (Unfortunately, it does not have a volume control.)

3. Evenflo Exersaucer: This keeps Micah busy in the morning while I'm getting ready for work. You should see him zip around...(and around, and around...)

4. LeapFrog Learn & Groove Alphabet Drum: This is Micah's newest toy. When you hit the drum, it says the letters of the alphabet in English or Spanish. Micah hits it so fast, all you can hear is "A--(bam! bam! bam! bam! bam!)--G--(bam! bam! bam! bam! bam!)--M...etc"

5. Baby Einstein Count & Compose Piano: This was one of Micah's first toys that he used once he could sit up. Unfortunately, he would get tired of sitting up and would fall forward onto the piano...head first...

6. Nuby Icy Bite Teether Keys: I really don't take the time to chill these in the refrigerator, but he loves them just the same. These used to keep Micah busy during church...now, he just likes to toss them to see where they land...

Micah's Baby Dedication

Micah is 9 months old!  His 9 month check-up was a little over a week ago, and he is steadily moving along on his growth curve in height (28.5") and weight (17 lb 6.5 0z.) 

Micah's mode of transportation is not by means of crawling.  No, he likes to scoot on his behind...backwards and mostly in circles!

As far as food is concerned, Micah prefers fruits over vegetables (...I wonder where he got that from...DAD!)  When I put the spoon up to Micah's mouth, he purses his lips shut and SNIFFS the food.  If he likes what he smells, he opens his mouth to take a bite...if not, he turns up his nose and pushes the spoon away with his hand.  And, his choice of beverage is milk rather than juice.

Lastly, but certainly not least, Micah was dedicated at church last weekend. His Grandparents, Nina, and a very special friend were in attendance!
