Micah Jay is 14 Months!

 Here's our handsome little man at 14 months old and officially taking his first STEPS.  It only took him 14 months to finally take 4 consecutive steps on his feet.  Woo Hoo!  He's pretty proud of himself!

 

 Micah LOVES the swimming pool. 

   

Below is one of my most favorite pictures because I'm sure it's one of the last times my 'baby' will fall asleep in my arms.  Remember the book that I absolutely adore by Karen Kingsbury?  Let Me Hold You Longer is the title and it sums up my feelings exactly...

 

Long ago you came to me, a miracle of firsts: 

First smiles and teeth and baby steps, a sunbeam on the burst. 

But one day you will move away and leave to me your past,

And I will be left thinking of a lifetime of your lasts....

I look ahead and dream of days that haven't come to pass.

But as I do, I sometimes miss today's sweet, precious lasts...

Let me hold on longer,God,

to every precious last.

 

I haven't had any luck getting through this book a single time without a tissue! 

 

 So here I am... Soaking up every last drop of the moment that just might be one of those lasts!

 

 Least favorite memory of the month.....  Hand Foot Mouth Disease!  Oh, it was miserable for us both!!!!!  This picture does not do it justice.  Micah had spots EVERYwhere except on his abdomen, hence the reason we knew it wasn't chicken pox.  But it was short-lived and I'm very thankful to have my healthy little man back again!
