Little Mr. Communication

It's been a while since I updated you about Micah's happenings, so I thought it was high time to do so for my 14-month-old. First of all, he's still wins cutest one year old award, hands down (unless you're referring to my other boys at this age, then it's a 3-way tie). He's walking/running anywhere and everywhere and even recently (when exposed to stairs for the first time) has begun climbing. He totally wants to be all up in whatever his big brothers are doing, but also likes to wander off by himself to see what he can find. As of this week, he is completely weaned (which went off without a hitch both for mommy and baby), and is in general hard to contain. He's still snuggly when he's tired, but otherwise prefers being down playing or running around rather than being held (unless there are strangers around). Best of all, he's starting to say more and more words! He says Hi/Hello to most people and sometimes even says, "Hi guys!" Please, eat, more, baby, cookie (his favorite word), night-night, Mom and Dad are also all part of his repertoire of speaking these days. He knows the signs for some of the words (especially "cookie"), but he usually just says the word. He's got 8 teeth now (that I've counted) and thinks he can eat anything. He actually does have quite the appetite, sometimes rivaling his brothers in the amount he can put away. He does still pucker up for kisses from time to time, and is generally a very happy little guy. I wish you could all see him now because he's just so much fun!
