Happy Birthday, Micah!

My sweet little baby turned one last week! He's at such a playful and totally cute stage right now. He's still stumbling around a bit, working on his balance for walking, but getting better and more confident all the time. He hasn't started running yet, but I'm in no hurry for that. :o) Currently he's sporting 6 teeth (4 on top and 2 on bottom) to chew through almost any and all food I give him. He loves to walk down the hall to the big boy's room when they're playing in there to see what he can join. Big boy toys are SO much more interesting than the toys we have out for him. He's also starting to dance a little bit when he hears music - total cuteness! He's got a great laugh and loves to play little games like "Where's Micah?". He'll chase after me when I leave a room, then when I turn around to look at him, he'll hide behind a door or something so he can pop his head out and giggle when I "catch" him. I could be a little on the partial side, but I just don't think babies get any cuter than this - seriously. ;o) He recently got his first haircut and did so well. He also recently got a very bad burn on his little hand by trying to pull up on the oven when it was on. We had to keep it bandaged and covered with a sock for about 5 days. It only seemed to hurt him the night it happened and he didn't seem to really notice it much after that. Something else he's started doing (that the big boys LOVE) is making zerberts on the couch or on his arm. It's really funny to watch him, then watch Joshua and Luke join in while all 3 of them are laughing.

Well, I realize that I've used the word "cute" like 50 times already, but it's really hard to talk about Micah without using that description. You'll have to check out the pictures below for reference!

He was down with the birthday pancakes! You can see the sock on his hurt hand here. I did take it off that night for the cake eating.

He was not too happy about the icing all over his hands!

But he eventually got over it, as you can see here.

It's hard to see the icing because it was light colored, but it was all over him. You can tell he enjoyed the experience immensely.

Trying to get into one of his presents.

Happy Birthday, Micah!!!
