A couple days ago I started complying a list of things about Micah right now that I want to remember. But it is certainly not all inclusive. I have really enjoyed writing these down. I must do this more often.
:You usually give me a kiss when you want to, not always when I ask for one. And it is always an open mouth kiss.
:Your head on my shoulder.
:If we take off your shirt and pants you head straight to the bath, pulling one of us along with you.
:The way you sign please and say “eeee”.
:When you blow kisses you put your hand to your mouth but you haven’t gotten the blowing away yet.
:You coming to give me a hug in the middle of playing.
:Your “funny face”.
:How much you love exploring cause and effect. You get so happy when you push something, like a light switch and it does something.
:Finding toys or your cup in various cupboards.
:You love putting on other peoples shoes.
:The way you bounce up and down to dance.
:Your little hand reaching out and grasping mine.
:You love to read, both by yourself and us reading the story to you.
:These simple days.
:That I have your full attention and that you want mine.
:How you get extra goofy in your highchair once you finish eating. Must remember "crazy Micah".
:All of your words are vowels.
:The way you say “uh-oh” and that you have different tones for when you mean it in different ways.
:You like to move, move, move.
:You are very interested in cars and trucks.
:Your many laughs.
:Playing chase you with.
:How quickly you are picking up on everything, what things are called, how things work, what we do at certain times, etc.
:The way you imitate us in what we do and what we say.
:Your feet hang down when I hold you.
:After you take a drink you will sometimes say “ahhh”.
:The way you stand up.
:The look on your face when I start to chase you.
:When I say “come here Micah” you look at me with a mischievous smile, laugh and run the other way thinking it is a game (that will be changing soon).
:I am amazed at how much you understand.
:You want to be close to me.
:That you prefer me.
:I can still hold you in my arms, though your legs hang off to the side.
:The way your little toes grip the ground when you are standing and walking.
:There are certain things you don’t like out of order, like when a chair was on its side you kept saying “uh-oh” until it was back as it should be.
:When we pray before meals you will reach out to hold our hands. You like to pray so much you ask to pray all throughout the meal.
:Love your red, fine, fluffy hair.
:How you say hat and how much you love to wear them.
:The way you squint and hide your face when the lights are turned on in the morning, they are so bright.
:Sometimes I will catch you sleeping on your stomach with your bottom up in the air (so cute).
:The way you back up to our laps when you want to read a book.
So this video kind of goes with this post. I must warn, grab a tissue you, especially if you are a parent or are the sentimental type (like me) or tend to cry easily. It totally made me cry.
Since it is almost a week past Easter I figure now is a good time to get an Easter post up. Our Easter was wonderful this year. We have been apart of a new church starting here in the valley and Easter was our first Sunday meeting. The Lord has definitely had His hand in this church and our first Sunday meeting. Everything went really well!! The services are at a local elementary school so there is a lot of set involved. After the service we had treats and coffee and most families stayed around to talk for a while. Micah had so much fun running around with the "big kids". He is certainly most interested in kids a few years older then kids around his age.
