Micah on a Mission

He's only 9 months old, and he is trying his best to get around by himself. He's not quite cruising (walking while holding on to things), but he's getting there pretty fast. Just yesterday I could sit him on the floor and count on him staying there for a few minutes. Now, as soon as I set him down, he's off slithering and scooting away. He's starting to pull up on things too, which is really fun to watch. Of course, as I'm writing this he just fell down and busted his lip open. Poor guy! He's braver than his current abilities allow sometimes. He's already got a few bruises and bumps on his forehead. :o) He really enjoys pulling himself up on me or Daddy when we're down on the floor with him. It's like he can't wait to be as active as his big brothers. And they, seeing this new mobile Micah, want to "play" with him more. They think that he's ready to wrestle and run around with them. Unfortunately, he's not quite ready for all they want him to do, and sometimes ends up getting hurt by them. I often have to remind them that he's still just a baby and it won't be long before he can do everything they can. In the meantime, Micah is often un-phased by what's going on around him as long as he can find something his height that's right to pull himself up. He'll be running around here before I know it!
