Micah

These pictures keep making me grin. Hehe. I made a popping sound with my mouth to get that smile in the next picture. I love how this kid is so entertained by everything! He's started walking as of about yesterday. He's known how to walk for months, but only recently had the balance (and courage) to do it all by himself. Today he was walking around the patio balcony like a pro, digging in the basil pot and trying to get into the garden tools he's not allowed to play with. :)

Micah turned one year on September 2nd. There was a lovely party at Erin's parents' house, but Micah was so tired by cake time that he wanted nothing to do with the pumpkin pie. So today we did a little re-do of his cake & candle, using the Erin-made pumpkin cheesecake from Logan's birthday instead. (Which was awesomely delicious, by the way...)

At first he thought we were being cruel by wanting him to sit in his highchair. He perked up after nursing, though, and then he realized that he was actually allowed to both smash up the pie AND eat it. So he meticulously and slowly set out to destroy and devour as much as possible. It was ridiculously cute.

Sheesh, what crazy hair. We're gonna look back at this and laugh our tails off. :)

Happy birthday, Micah! I love you to tiny bits.

P.S. School is going awesomelyyyy. Seriously. I got really good grades on my first essay and test. Also, just received a letter saying I am eligible for the Zell Miller Scholarship, which pays $12 more per credit hour than HOPE does. Heck yes! Gonna flash that paper at the financial aid office Monday!
