Micah Jay, 17 Months

 Here's our sweet 17-month-old!  His smile just lights up my world! :)

 This lil guy loves to be outdoors....

 Micah is becoming very independent!  He's a doer for sure.  If he wants something he goes and gets it which is a blessing and a curse! 

 Micah loooooves movie nights for the popcorn!

 And Micah also looooves sugar.  This momma is not a fan of refined sugar and candy but every once in a while Micah will get a sweet treat! :) 

 I just love how he sleeps with his little bum bum in the air! :)

Fun Facts About our 17-Month-Old:

MICAH....

 

-is one of the boys now!  He doesn't want to be left behind or out of anything that his big bros are doing.

-wants to use his own utensils now.  He's independent which = a mess!  But I love that he loves to do things for himself.

-has an opinion, for sure.  He's super duper content and easy going about most things but he's definitely not passive....He makes his opinions known!

-does not have a large vocab but he grunts and points and is surprisingly an amazing communicator.  I think his repertoire of words includes: mama, dada, more, bowl (notice that the last 2 are associated with food :)

-is very SWEET.  He gives the BEST bear hugs in the whole wide world, loves to snuggle and would let you hold him ALL day if it were possible!  He just had an incredibly sweet demeanor (except when he's hungry!).



Steam Engine Ride!

Since our Isaac is very much obsessed with choo choos right now, Mimi and Poppy took us on a very special excursion....... to the Midland Railfest in Baldwin City, KS! 

We were able to experience what train travel during the "golden ages" of railroad was like. We took a ride on "Sadie," a 1931 coal-fired steam locomotive, for a trip from Baldwin City to Norwood.  It was slow, hot, and a bit stinky with all of that steam blowing, but our 3 little engineers loved it which made it all worth while! :)

I think this might go in the books as a top-ranked 'favorite day' for our family!  Thank you sooooo much Mom and Dad for initiating such a special day for us.  We love you! 



Last Splash of Summer, 2012!

 

 Labor Day was the final day for our neighborhood pool to be open for the season so we splashed and played and soaked up every last drop of one last day in the water....
