Our littlest man turned 6 months on Sunday – amazing! Micah continues to be a delight. He army crawls all over the house and loves getting into things. He’s discovered that our house has more than one room and is always determined to get into the kitchen. He’s completely ruining his clothes on our floors, which are impossible to keep clean. My life is quite a bit busier now making sure he’s not getting into things. He laughs so hard when he thinks he’s been caught doing something bad.
The other day Micah started making buzzing sounds with his lips. He loves to copy us when we do it. Ezra thought it was the funniest thing to watch. The other day I said “Boo!” and Micah copied a “b” sound. He still cannot stick his tongue out of his mouth, but his tongue-tied-ness hasn’t hindered him from nursing, so we’ll continue to wait and see what happens.
Everyone continues to love our littlest member of the family. He’s been sleeping from 10PM to 5AM. But last week he started getting up at 3AM to nurse – it’s been hot here, so maybe he’s been thirsty. He also has developed a dislike for thunderstorms and has been up two different nights disturbed by the thunder and lightening.
Time has flown too fast and Micah’s army crawling has made him seem older than he really is. I keep wondering where my little baby has gone. Looking at each of our children, I’m reminded that each one is a gift from God. They are given to us for a short time to point them to Christ and to help them learn how to thrive in the world God has put them in. I’m often filled with gratitude for our 6. There was a time when I thought we wouldn’t be able to have this many children (Becca’s premature birth, c-sections, miscarriages). But God has fully blessed – so thankful!
