Micah at 18months old

Today is the day that Micah turns 18 months old. She is doing so much more today than she did when we first became a family. She is beginning to crawl by herself and walk only holding one of our fingers as she goes. She is also pulling up on things and sitting up by herself. She is smiling a great deal more. She has so many teeth that have come in that she is only missing one tooth in each corner of her mouth. Daddy thinks that she will need braces one day. She still will not feed herself. She is beginning to put her hands in the food but still will not get it to her mouth. She will take the spoon or fork and get food in her mouth if you load it for her. She is also getting a little more picky about what she will eat. Tonight when I put her on the floor, she began to get into Sarah's Lego's. We are in big trouble!
Her day care has begun to fix her hair after nap. They usually put a little fountain in her hair and the bow in front of it. I love the look. At night when I take the rubber band out she has the funniest hairstyle. It will stay standing up until we shampoo it.

Sarah gets a booster

Sarah finally hit 40 pounds and moved up into a booster seat! While in Dallas we bought the chair and put it in the van. It has lights on each side so that at night if we are in the car, she can read or play without Dada having to drive with the overhead lights on.

Week in Dallas

Although it wasn't the greatest reason for Uncle Sid and Uncle Jon to come to Dallas, we got to spend a great deal of time together. Sarah and Micah were fabulous this week also. Uncle Jon bonded with the girls and Sarah taught Aunt Marcy to put a spoon on her nose. We also went to the Children's Museum with friends of Aunt Marcy's, Maria and Jack. The museum is way cool with lots of things for children to do!

This past weekend

We had an awesome Saturday with the Fourniers going to the Lego store, lunch at The Cheese Cake Factory and then watching Sarah and Claire bungee jump on a trampoline. We then went to Crave for fabulous cupcakes and played outside in the animal garden. It was a great last hurrah before having to go back to work.

Micah is beginning to walk

I can't believe that Micah is getting ready to walk. Her favorite things to do are to hold on to my shoulder and pull my hair and now walk around holding one hand. Dada put her behind the Dora car and she began to walk around the house.

Zadie

My dad (Zadie) passed away tonight and I wanted to make sure that Sarah and Micah always remember him and how much he loved them. He was a good man who loved his family and friends. I hope that he enjoyed life to the fullest to the end. I love you Dad!
