Major Milestones

It has been a couple weeks, but I was in Chicago this past week for work, so slacker on my part. Micah is growing leaps and bounds these days.


He is completely sitting up on his own and can stay this way for long periods of time. It's a great new found independence that we are all enjoying. He can now keep himself entertained without one of us holding him at all hours of the day. It's been a great lifestyle change!





Micah now has 6 teeth! They have all come in and he is no longer teething. There is still a lot of drool and they seem to bother him a little bit these days, but the major teething is hopefully on a stand still for the time being. We will see how long we get before the next round come in. Now that he has so many teeth I've decided to stop nursing him. We used my trip as a time to ween him onto just bottles. He is doing great with the transition and seems to be more satisfied and sleeping  better.






This brings us to his newest milestone, eating solids!! Last night he had his first bowl of rice cereal and he ate it like a champ. We will slowly be introducing more variety and even bought the magic bullet today to make baby food for the near future. It will be fun to see what he likes and dislikes as we try out different foods.










It's amazing how much he changes and how much he is growing day by day. His 6 month check up is next Friday. Can't wait to see what they say about all his growth.

Teething Time

Micah has been teething for the past two weeks, lots of drool, crabbiness and Tylenol  Today 3 our of the 4 top teeth are through and the final one will pop tomorrow at the latest. Hopefully this will relieve some of the pain and discomfort he's been in lately. AND...hopefully calm the drool monster he's become :)

Micah figured out how to sit up on his own!! Big milestone especially before 6 months. Soon he will be crawling, scary.

Joe leave tonight for a boys weekend. This gives me 3 nights alone with the baby. It's going to be interesting to say the least. I give single parents a lot of props as I'm not sure I could do it.

2013 Happy New Year

We made it to 2013. Micah is now 5.5 months old, crazy! He has 3 teeth coming in on the top which scares me since he is already a biter....not fun, but exciting that he is growing so fast and is healthy. The past two weeks have been crazy busy with holiday excitement. Suzi and Jen finally got to meet the little guy and were able to spend some time with him. Christmas was all about the babies which was fun and less stressful. Micah got a bunch of great stuff. Thanks to all family who were so thoughtful :) New Years Eve was fun and Micah was just like his daddy with the FMS kicking in. I think due to teething and not knowing Kevin/Jen's home, he was a mess. Luckily he slept most of Tuesday to make up for it. Here are a few pics from the past couple weeks
