Sitting up

It seems we may have reached another milestone....Micah is sitting up! He has been practicing for about a month now, but it started as him folding himself in half because he didn't have the back strength to sit up straight. Then he learned to sit up straight but he kept falling side to side and backwards, but now he is doing really well sitting all by himself! We even put him in the shopping cart instead of his infant seat the other day and he did perfectly!

He is still a little wobbly, but I definitely think we can consider this his sitting up milestone. Here's a little video preview....

High Five

This is so weird, but I always ask kids to give me a high five whenever I see them. Lots of kids know what that means, but some kids look at me like I'm crazy. So I have always been trying to teach Micah to give me five whenever we are playing. He usually grabs my hand and tries to put it in his mouth, but lately he has been thinking it is hilarious when I grab his arm and make his hand hit mine. It's so cute. But last night, he just randomly started hitting his dad's hand like he was giving him five, and he has never done that before, so I had to get it on video this morning because it is so adorable! He's so brilliant :)

Micah's first Halloween

Yesterday was our first Halloween with the little man...we went trick or treating all over the neighborhood, he over-indulged in candy, and he hasn't slept in 24 hours.

Ok, that's not entirely accurate. We thought the neighbors would find it a little odd for two un-costumed adults holding an infant to come to their house asking for candy. Instead, we stayed home, cooked dinner, and had a mini photo shoot in our living room. So here are the treats from Micah's first Halloween!
