Is it really 6 months?

It's been an adventure filled six months since bringing Micah home. I finally pulled together his memory book and it helped me not mind this cold winter so much. We sure did sweat in China!

Micah continues to pick up words and is seeming to be growing up a bit, too. He told Ben to "sit up" at the table yesterday when he was slouched over. He can count to 10 and is learning the ABCs. Micah still eats and eats even though no major growth spurt has happened. Just when we think he is growing out of the clumsy toddler stage, he'll hit his head some place new! He is now two and a half years old and plays right along with Ben's helicopters and dragons. We look forward to fun outdoors soon. Maybe tomorrow!

He's 5!

It's been a busy week! Ben has been waiting since he's been a 3 year old to turn 5 and now it has finally happened! This past week he showed me he can touch my shoulder. He doesn't want his cute dragon towel any more. He wants a big boy towel now! He also learned to thread letter sounds together to read words. At his 5 year check-up, he is holding steady at 25% percentile on the American size chart. (At 2 he was at 10%) But I know he would say the best thing that happened this past year is Micah!
