10 months

sorry all the pics are off my phone... once our laptop gets fixed i will post more

Mikah is a moving machine!! He is crawling and climbing and destroying everything. He weighs 21 pounds. He loves food... but not in the form of mushy baby food. (hates that) His favorite food as of now is strawberries, at the grocery store he wants to eat them as soon as they enter the shopping cart.  Mikah loves his mommy.. when I am out of sight he gets really really upset. He says mamma and dada very well. He says mo.. for more. He say da for Dakota which is our dog. They are best friends, Mikah and Dakota play together all the time.  Mikah finally knows the meaning of the word "no". The only time he pretends he doesn't know it is when he is climbing up the stairs!! He is still only has two teeth.. and I am not sure I want him to get anymore.... anytime soon!!! He loves to brush his teeth, only with adult tooth brushes! Mikah loves sports.... which is  a really good thing cause his dad does too. Mikah kicks soccer balls, makes baskets in his bball hoop, and can play pass. He loves to swim, in Puerto Rico we couldn't keep him out of the water he loved it so much. He also loves to dance, he puts his hands above his head and bounces up and down when he hears music and when he is sung to he claps his hands. In Puerto Rico Mikah was in deep sleep on my lap against my chest, Riahanna song comes on and Mikah wakes up immediatly and starts dancing.... really funny. Well thats our little man in a nut shell... I will post Puerto Rico soon!!

8 months old

Wow.. Where do i start this month, so much has changed.. Besides Mikah being sick alot this past month. He is crawling all over the place and getting into everything!! He has one bottom tooth that has broken the surface. He also loves food, any kind!! He is eating alot of different solid foods. Finally likes riding in the car, maybe cause we got a new car?? I think he can see out the windows now and doesn't get board and just quietly falls a sleep. Mikah doesnt really like his pacifier anymore. This is a love hate situation!!! Mikah gets the chills when he pees, ever since I switched to cloth diapers he does this.. its really funny to watch! Oh did i mention he found a new toy.. his little boy part... One night we were changing Mikahs diaper, he started playing with his...... you know what... and I said really load."Hey what are you doing" he shrugged hos shoulders and started giggling. He is a true boy! Mikah is pulling himself up on furniture, but gets scared if he stands up to long because he doesn't want to fall. Mikah can say Ma ma as of last month.. Yeah his first word!!!! But last week Mikah, Leo and I were laying in bed one morning and Mikah rolled over to Leo and started to crawl towards him saying Da Da... now he says it all the time!! He is getting so old its crazy!!

7 months old

i dont know why these pics turned and I cant fix them!!  Sorry

My little man is 7 months old already. He needs to touch anything that is in reach. He also says ma ma. I don't know if that's what he means. But it just melts my heart. He can crawl only one steep and then finds its more convenient to roll towards what he wants or to get around. But he has started to pull himself up onto furniture.. He is naughty! He likes anything he can't have, and will cry if it gets taken away. He loves food! He eats anything but likes what mom is eating best. He smiles when I walk out of the room and cries when I leave! I think he weights around 19 pounds. He loves playing in the bath, he could be in there for hours at a time. He loves to be held... STILL. I cook and clean with him in a backpack. He is a really happy baby and we just love him to death.I will post a longer post soon! I just wanted to post this really quick.

Our Vacation

The past few weeks have been crazy. Leo Mikah and I went to visit family on the east coast. Our First stop was Durham North Carolina. Leo sister Carol and her family are there while her husband finishes his last year at Duke. We have not seen them in 10 months so they had never met Mikah. While we were there we went to some really cool kids museums. They made Leo and I wish we were kids again and could actually play with all the cool things they had there. While we were there Elijah our nephew got baptised. It was really special to have most of the family all together. Right before we were about to go to New York to visit Leo's brothers Mikah got really really sick and had a fever of 104. It was so sad to see him that sick.... But after 2 days on Medication he seamed to be getting better so we went to New York. This was my first time to New York and I loved it. I really want to move there cause I miss my cute sister in laws.

Mikah's First Hair Cut

Mikah went to visit grandma Sagebin. Grandma told me that Mikah really needed a hair cut, because it was so wild. I was a little nervous at first, cause he is so young and I loved that he had alot of hair....But it looks so much better now. Out with the JuGle Hair in with a fo hawk!!! Mikah was so good he just sat on the bed amd floor and let grandma cut his hair and use a buzzer. He was so good that after grandma gave him a fruit popsicle that he loved!! He would cry when it was not in him mouth! SPOILED!
