9 month old Micah

So Micah is more like 9 and a half months.. 

The day before he turned 9 months he had his surgery.

(you can read all about that here)

So, as you can imagine, we didn't do a lot of picture taking or blogging the next day.. or the next couple of weeks. 

He got really sick and he has been teething, so life has been rough, but it's a lot better now!

So here are a few things about a 9 month old Micah

He still has two teeth, but he is working hard at getting some more. It seems like he has been teething for months.. 

I'm pretty sure he is getting his top two in at the same time, poor baby. He frantically chews on everything. Including me haha

Micah is really good at saying mama and dada now.

I know that those are the two easiest things for him to say, but I swear he knows that I'm mama and Matt is dada.

All day he says mama mama mama (side note its not mamamamamama he stops with mama, he knows! haha) 

But then when daddy comes home he switches to dada. 

Everyday we wait out on the balcony for daddy to come home.  Everyday when Micah sees Matt get out of the car he gets super excited. Its so cute. 

Yesterday when he saw him get out of the car he got super excited and yelled dad! 

So as you can see he is a huge daddy's boy.  

He loves me and he wants me when he is sad or sick, but when it's time to play it doesn't get much better then daddy.

But I mean I can't blame him.. Daddy is so much fun!

Micah is a big fan of the kitchen these days.  It's pretty much his favorite place to play

One day he was playing on the drawers and Matt showed him that they opened.. Now that is his favorite. 

He also discovered the other day that he can turn on and off the xbox.

I tried to hurry and distract him with lots of toys and stuff, but no way he went right back and played with that awesome button. 

So I grabbed him and took him down the hall and then ran and put a bunch of games in front on the xbox to see if maybe he would forget..

he crawled back in the room and this is what happened.

Straight to playing with that power button 

He is very determined and he doesn't forget about things easily.

Micah has learned how to give kisses and it's pretty much my favorite thing ever. 

He will crawl over and give me kisses randomly during the day, its so cute. And last night when Matt came home he got a bunch of kisses. 

He is also obsessed with faces.  Noses, ears, and eyes, are his favorite.  He loves to grab them and scratch them.  It's pretty cute, and super painful haha

he is getting pretty good at using his walker.

i love how he shakes it. show that thing who's boss

A few random things.. 

We were eating with Matt's dad and sister and there was this super hard piece of bread.

No one wanted it so I gave it to Micah

He loved it! 

He chewed on it the rest of the time in the restaurant and most of the way home.

He also thought it was pretty cool when I put him in a pile of pillows at Costco last night

And here is a little video of him talking with his spoon.

I love my baby.  I love him so much and I'm so grateful he's mine!!
