YAY Florida!  Where everyone wears velour!
We had a terrific visit with Micah's Great Grandma. What a gift to have four generations of family (including three great grandkids) together in the same room.  YAY Florida!
"Now, put me in the overhead bin and let's go back!"

Bubbles!

Thanks to Saturday swim class with Dad, Micah is loving the water, which means...bath time has become tons of fun. The other day, we added a splash of baby soap to the water and Micah experienced his first bubble bath. Not quite sure about the relative properties of bubbles, here is Micah trying to figure it all out.

A Dog's Life...

Little does Copley know, but Micah is her biggest fan. He lights up every time he sees her (even if it's mid-diaper change - a small miracle). He is learning to be very gentle with her (most of the time...although her ears make pretty attractive pull toys). His new favorite game is to go get her toys from the box and wave them in her face, generally a pretty enticing offer. So much fun to watch a boy and his dog (i.e. small chipmunk).  

 

Hey! Where are you going??

Let's see if I can't just...

...Yes! I'm in!!!

Wait! Where'd she go? And how do I get out of here?

Well...a boy can always dream.

Fall Fun from Our Little Pumpkin

One of Micah's new favorite activities is to sit on the front stoop and navigate the granite steps - up and down, back and forth. He also loves to sit and wave to all the cars that pass by (bonus if it's a big truck or a school bus - "Buh! Buh!"). And he never forgets to take some time to smell the flowers. I actually think his favorite part is pulling the flower bloom off the stem, but he does give it a little sniff before ripping it apart and watching the petals drift to the ground. 

I was not eating dirt. Promise.

Our little firetruck...

Micah has been a world of sounds lately - mostly lots of babbling (but it is definitely starting to sound like real sentences), a few words here and there (uhhh - up, doooww - down), animal sounds (dinosaurs, fish and sheep are his favorites). And, I happened to capture this little video the other day of his emergency vehicle impersonations - I'd say he's pretty good!
