I can't believe Micah is TEN MONTHS OLD!!
He's getting another bottom tooth, so he has 5 now. I think we're on the downhill from that, he hasn't been quite as fussy as he was beginning/middle of last week.
He has really gotten into walking. Not on his own, but holding onto fingers. An improvement from refusing to hold my hands which resulted in me having to bend over and support him beneath his armpits. Ouch on the back! He is SO PROUD of himself when he's standing on his own and when he grabs my hands to pull himself to his feet. Relatively certain he will walk earlier than his brother!
Still LOVES to eat table food. And puffs. And cheese. Did I mention how he ate and ate and ate the pulled pork my mom made for Christmas Eve? Ohmy he wouldn't stop! He was still eating when everyone else was done with dessert.
Micah slept in his crib for four hours last night. This is a new record. I kept obsessively getting up to check on him, so I didn't sleep well until after 1:00 when he finally started stirring....after I finally took his blanket off him, half in an attempt to wake him and half because I needed to actually sleep and HAD to keep checking while that blanket was in there! It's silly, really...he plays peel-a-boo all the time so he can lift up a blanket AND pull it off his face, but a blanket in his bed still stresses me out. I don't know what my deal is...Isaiah was sleeping partial nights in his crib before he was Micah's age! Not with a blanket, though. I guess I just need to get used to it and let him be a big boy.
Saying a lot of word-sounds but I'm not positive he knows what he's saying. He will say "mamamama" sometimes when he's upset and looking at me, but I never get the feeling he's calling for me. Maybe he is. He also says "dadada" sometimes and "bababa" occasionally seems to be directed at Isaiah (for brother?). I don't know. It was so obvious with Isaiah's first word because a neighbor dog came up to the back door, he saw it, pointed, and said "dah". Is a first word always that obvious?
