Micah at 7 Months!

Micah and his many rolls!

You talkin to me?

Well... Micah and I have been in Texas for a month now. Which also means, one month down, and 5 to go until Daddy comes home! Micah has been growing so much. He is one amazing little boy. He likes to drink water out of sippy cups and if we let him, he loves to drink out of regular glasses and does a good job at it. Also, no one can eat in front of him; he wants to eat also. Sometimes he gets to eat what we are having, but mostly he snacks on Cherrios and little puff snacks. When I put a puff in his mouth, he makes yummy noises and wiggles his feet. It's pretty cute.

Fortunately, Matt got moved to a different room and gets a really good wifi connection, so now we can Skype more often. We did this morning and the connection was amazing. Micah gets so excited when he hears Daddy's voice and sees his face. I am very thankful for Skype.

Micah has yet to roll over, or feel the need to be mobile in any form. He is quite happy just feeling the textures around him.

Micah is becoming much more social. He will give strangers smiles now, and will let a lot of people hold him. But, for the most part he clings to me. I think it is his way of showing that he misses his daddy. The month before we left Washington, he was usually sleeping from 6:30 pm to 3:30 - 4 am for his first feeding. He has only done that a couple of times since he got here. He wakes up quite a bit at night.

This past weekend we spent 4 days with no hot water. I had to go to a friend's house for showers and we had to boil water to bathe Micah. Also, my parents road has been torn up for a week, waiting to be paved, which is causing a lot of dust and dirt in the house. Micah's sinuses are not enjoying the dirt.

Even with all of the changes in Micah's life, he is the content and happy baby. He definitely helps to reduce my stress. He is a precious beautiful baby.

Very proud of his Daddy!
