18 Months

Last week my baby turned 18 months old. It is amazing how quick a year and half can go by and how much Micah has changed. He just had a check up and he measured 32.5 inches tall, and weighed 21.5 pounds. He seems to weigh a lot more then that to me so I'm not sure what is going on there.

Micah has definitely become quite a character. He makes us laugh all the time. He is learning a lot and his language development seems to really be moving forward. He understands so much and is trying to say many words. Some of the words he says right now are:

Papa
Grandpa
Please
Thank you
Book
Out
Up
Cup
Truck
Food
Hi
Bye
Play
Ball
Dog
Yeah
Light
Uh-oh

Now mind you he does not say consonants very clearly so many of these words sound similar and I have to take into context to know exactly what he is saying. He can say many other words if you ask him to. Just a few days ago he started saying baby and yesterday he surprised me and said bubble. I could just keep writing about what he is doing but how about just a couple more cute pictures.

Independent

Micah really enjoys being outside. A few days ago he decided he wanted to go outside and was going to get ready. He put on all of this himself! First was the snowsuit, he was so happy with himself when he got it on. I have to say I was impressed too. Next he got the boots on and then the hat. He was ready to go. Oh this boy makes me laugh.

Where Did I Go

Wow not sure why I haven't blogged in so long. For a while I felt like I was just catching up on life once C had returned home. Can't really use that reason anymore, he has been home for weeks now. So I guess I will try to do a little up date.

In January and a little bit of February C was gone with the national guard on a training mission in the middle east (not a combat area). It was so sweet when he got home Micah just reached up to him for a hug put his head on his shoulder and didn't move.



Micah loves being outside. He enjoys "helping" with the addition or at least watching and playing with wood.


The trees are still dormant as they should be and covered in snow.


We had a nice day, it was cold but we took advantage and went to a near by park. Micah loved it and it helps give this very active toddler some much needed large motor movement.

Throwing rocks into the river with Papa, what could be more fun.
