Mikey is my happy, energetic, and super sweet little boy. And he is growing more and more each day. He is in that stage where he is moving around everywhere and wanting to do nearly everything that Noelle is doing. Here are some other things that Mikey is doing:
-He is crawling everywhere, and he is fast.
-He is eating everything by hand now. He doesn't like pureed baby food anymore. He just won't have it. His latest favorites are strawberries, cheese, and toast (oh and puffy cheetos, thanks to my dad). When he wants more food he just pounds on his tray with his hands and shouts "na na na na na!" I'm trying to teach him the sign for "more", but so far that hasn't worked. Oh well :)
-On his six month post I wrote that he was almost sitting up. Well he's been doing that for a while now. When that happened soon after he was crawling, then pulling himself on his knees, and now he is pulling himself on his feet. This tactic he has learned can postpone nap or bed time :).
-Loves cords and anything that is not an actual "toy"
-Loves spending lots of time by the front door. For two reasons I think: He LOVES to be outside and he's waiting for daddy to get home.
-He has the brightest, sweetest smile!
-Sleeps with a little burp rag that he cuddles with
-Will lay his head on our shoulders when he is tired
-He doesn't enjoy his jumperoo anymore. But I keep it around or I get absolutely nothing done.
-He loves to splash in the bath tub, a lot
-Loves grabbing onto a cup or can and try drinking what's inside. He has a very very strong grip.
- Loves to play in his and Noelle's room.
-Loves following and watching his sister. When he wakes up in the morning or from a nap she is the first one he is looking for.
-Gives kisses. But he is very picky about who he gives them to.
-still has red hair, and it grows fast.
-sleeps about 12 hours every night and takes 2 naps a day. Usually ranging from 45 min-2 hours each.
-sometimes enjoys the shows that Noelle watches.

Mikey sure keeps me on my toes. I'm constantly wondering where he is and what he's into. I'm in for a very active, mischievous childhood with this one. He has got me wrapped around his little finger and I don't mind a bit. I melt when he gives me a kiss or a hug and I would do anything for him. Noelle loves him a lot and as she is growing she's developing a stronger relationship with him. She always asks where he is when he's not in the room with us. And get's really worried when I tell her we're going somewhere because she'll think we're not taking him and gets so sad. Despite the occasional wrestling with, hitting and laying on top of Mikey, she adores him and is very proud to be a big sister :).
Mikey just brings so much light, love and energy to my life and I can't get enough of our handsome little guy. My world would definitely not be the same without him and I'm so grateful we were blessed to have him in our family. Love you Mikey!

He is so big and so cute! Boys are definitely more energetic, in a different way than girls (at least the little neighbor girls around here). That's good you got some use out of your jumperoo, Eric has never caught on to his, he would just sit there and whine at me, wondering why I was putting him through it. haha Miss you guys!
