Micah - 21 months

His second birthday is quickly approaching.  Seriously, where did the time go?

I'm a big fan of the 1-year-old stage...until it turns into the terrible two's.  So far so good around here.  He is very verbal, so I think that helps with frustration.  There has been some random fit throwing that lasts several minutes and some fork throwing at the dinner table, but it's still manageable. 

Micah LOVES his big sister.  He copies everything she does.  She's recently been stuttering a bit, and he's picked that up.  She's doing less toe walking since her knee injections, but she's still doing it enough that I guess he feels the need to do it some, too.  I can't imagine what life would look like for either of these two without the other.  They are best friends.  When Micah's napping, Mara wants to wake him up so he can play with her.  Today they were sitting on the couch, and Mara leans over and kisses his head.  He looks up and says, "Sissy loves me."  Melt my heart.

He's my snuggler.  At any time of day, he's very willing to rock or snuggle up and read a book.  Almost always, he'll come running over if I ask for a hug or kiss.  When I need some love, he's right there to give it. 

He's been enjoying his one-on-one time with his Daddy on Wednesday nights while the girls head to Awana.  He loves to push around tractors and farm with Daddy.  His favorite song is Twinkle Twinkle.  He is really struggling with colors but can count to 10 and attempts to count to 20.

Little Man, I'm really not ready for you to be TWO.  Let's slow down the next few months just a bit so I can cherish all of the moments I have with you.  I love you Micah William.
