The many faces of our 10 month old!

Our sweet girl is 10 months old already! She is cruising and crawling like a maniac! She has 6 teeth already. Her favorite past times include getting into everything Micah is.... Pulling books off shelves and giggling endlessly. She eats like she means business!  She's a great kid!

Greetings!

Sorry it's been a couple of weeks... We've been busy.  Busy isn't even the right word.  Other than Friday, I'm pretty convinced the hubby is just a shadow that comes and goes... more going than coming.  Today he was gone 6a-6p, and 6:45 til... still not home (9:33...) He will be done with his Masters of Ministries on June 20th, not that I'm counting or anything. 

Micah is wrapping up his first year of preschool.  More on that later this week, complete with pictures, at least if I remember.... Capping hasn't been very successful.  :( He came down with a cold, now 11 days ago... still not really over it, as usual, it can last easily 2 weeks.) He has a size smaller trach now, so every little bit congests him. He's having trouble coughing and clearing his trach as easily as he did with the bigger size.  I hope we made the right decision, it's not a good feeling.  We still have not heard about his CT. One doc is out of the office, but I trust we'll hear soon. 

Kyleigh is  quite mobile... Unfortunately she's not getting worn out enough... She's been up multiple times a night here lately.  Please child, for the love of all things good and holy, SLEEP!  Otherwise she continues to roll with the punches, as I always hoped.  She's really hit the "in her brothers hair" stage.  She crawls up and stands next to him when he's playing.  So far he's not outright pushed her down, but he'll sort of push her out of the way with his elbow.  So it starts....
Here's a few Summer starter pics!

 Micah's favorite summer visit spot, the neighbor's "petting zoo"... (i.e. their 4-H animals... and more!)
 We took a fun trip to the Toledo Zoo a few weeks ago.  More pictures to come, but here's this darling one of Kyleigh and Aunt Mandy.

8 months- What CAN'T this girl do!?

So, at 6 months I decided to only post every two month updates about K.  Well, little did I know she'd knock out all sorts of milestones in these two months.  She's mastered sitting at about 6 1/2 months, on hands and knees, as well as transitioning from hands and knees to sitting at around 7 months, crawling at 7 1/2 months, and just yesterday, she pulled herself to standing!

WHAT?!  Where's my little baby!?  This is too much for this mama's heart!  She's got a heck of a lot of personality, just like brother did at this age.  She's a big ham, and has figured out how to wave hello and goodbye... and she does it all the time!  She's got a big two-toothed grin (no new teeth since 5 1/2 months... and mom's okay with that!)  She jabbers, but not really intentionally saying anything yet. 

Here's the 8 month old princess on our trip to Cincy.

Capping trial

Micah strikes again!

We had decided to do a capping trial at our last visit.  Overall, we didn't get our hopes up... We had no idea how he would do.   Well, apparently he's got this under control! :)  We're about 24 hours in and he's been doing well.  His oxygen is great! He occasionally works a little harder to breathe than is ideal, but I think he's having a little trouble coordinating swallowing and breathing.  The rules of the capping trial are tough.  He has to leave it on all the time basically or he fails.  He woke up last night a little freaked out and pulled it off.  He wouldn't let them put it on for a half hour...  Thankfully the ENT was willing to chalk it up to behavior, which Travis thought it was.  As long as he does fine tonight, he passes. :)

Micah's Alphabet

Micah signing the ABC's.  :) He knows them all, and can almost keep up with the song.  So proud!
