Micah is 3!

Micah
This past weekend we celebrated you and your third birthday. We have had a wonderful three years with you. We feel so blessed to have you and be apart of your life. We feel honored that God gave us you to guide in this life and we pray for His wisdom as we stumble through. You have grown and taught me more then I could have imagined these three years. You bring us joy everyday as we watch you grow and especially now as you say the funniest things. It is great to hear your language develop but there are a few words I will miss once you learn how to pronouce them correctly. A few of them are, bana (banana), pamma (camera), lemon juice (lemonade), pickle sandwich (meat and cheese sandwich with pickles), missuburban (our suburban), bestest (breakfast), dirtday (birthday), titar (guitar), may-cused (your shortened version of may I be excused). I love that I still get snuggles with you, I know they are fleeting so I strive to pause and soak in the moments with you in my arms. You are particularly fond of large motor activities and you have great balance. Even on your bike, you zoom around coasting and turning quickly. You also show an interest and aptitude for music. It is fun to see these sort of things emerging. It makes me wonder about your future and what God has planned for you. We pray sweet boy that you will choose to follow the Lord, that you will submit to Him and follow him with your whole life with your whole heart. Thank you for being you, I love sharing life you with!

11 months

11 months! Wow time has gone fast, and I suppose I could say that about every month with our sweet girl. This month held a lot of firsts. First steps, first time Jane stood from sitting without holding on to something, first time swimming and first tooth! Also new is we are totally done with baby food. She likes the real, feed myself kind of food. Watermelon is her absolute favorite. So now I am in the tricky stage of coming up with balanced nutritious food for a baby with only one tooth.

Jane is busy exploring her world, I can't hold her long before she is wanting to be put down. She still enjoys putting things in and out of some sort of container. She also really enjoys a board book we have called You and Me, Baby. She smiles and laughs through out the entire book. Jane has also become quite chatty. I haven't heard her say mama as much anymore but she does say dada and papa. There are even times it sounds like she is saying Micah. She has started to give kisses too. The open mouth slobbery kind of kisses, but they are great.

Loving our girl and can't believe we are almost at one year!
