Micah update

It's been a while since I've given an update on Micah. And considering how busy he's been, that's just wrong!

Micah has adjusted well to being a big brother, and as you can tell from the video below, he loves holding Benjamin. The problem is that he just doesn't know his own strength. We're working on being gentle, and giving soft hugs. It's so sweet to see how loving he is with the baby! I wonder how long that will last....

Whenever I'm trying to take of picture of someone, Micah will step in front of the camera, and smile. This is actually one of his more realistic smiles. Usually, I get a cheesy fake smile.

Micah is still a man of few words. And the words that he does say all sound like, "doll." To try to help him communicate a little bit more, we've been really working on some signs. He can sign more, all done, please and thirsty. Once we conquer eat, he'll be in good shape!

Outside is the only place for Micah! Even if it's just to check the mail, he loves being outside. Often times he will get his shoes, stand by the door, and cry. So pathetic, but kinda cute too. It seems like whenever we go outside though, he is eaten alive by ants! Most of the time, he doesn't care, he just keeps on playing. His poor feet, legs, and hands suffer the most.

Micah loves ducks! He has duck toys, duck books, and loves to visit the pond to feed the ducks. While Elizabeth is running from the ducks screaming, Micah is chasing the ducks, screaming. And any animal with feathers is a duck, and therefore quacks. It's hysterical when he sees a flock of birds, and suddenly you hear quacking from the back seat.

What a joy and blessing Micah is to our family! I am continually amazed by how richly we are blessed by this little boy.
