Micah is ONE!!!

Micah turned 1 last week. His stats:
Weight- 17 lbs 3 oz (0%)
Height- 26.5 in (0%)
Head size- 45.5 cm (25%) !!!!
Micah is obviously still very little for a 1 year old. We went to the specialist and he was very encouraged by Micah's growth. Micah is starting (slowly, but surely) to catch up. He ordered some blood work and if it comes back normal then we wont go back until the end of May.



As you can tell, Micah was not happy about his cake. We tried to feed him some of it to encourage him to dive in, but it actually made him even more mad.

After some time we were able to feed him some cake.

Here he is opening presents from his grandparents and also from Nate and I. I gave him a blanket that I made (which I'm pretty proud of).

Micah has several new tricks that he has learned in the last month. He has learned to play Peek-a-Boo. He likes to play with the soccer and basketball. He has learned to throw it and chase it.
He has also learned to pull things out of drawers and off of shelves.
He is still a very happy baby. He spent every afternoon with me and my soccer team. The girls asked if he ever cried because in the last 3 months with them he hardly cried. He loves his fruits and veggies. He drinking whole milk now and has mastered the sippy cup.

Happy Birthday Micah! (and Nate). Your quilt was crazy awesome! He is such a cute kid. No worries about the size. Zurik is in the 2nd percentile for weight. But i had to take him in to get his blood drawn because of his late gross motor development. And he has no teeth. (apparently both can be related to a thyroid problem) But he is fine. Happy and Healthy. Just not wanting to move around yet.
p.s. Wes is interviewing at midwestern in a couple weeks. We just found out! :)

Austin cried his whole first birthday, he HATED his cake, it's sad when you have these expectations and then it doesn't happen the way you expcted, oh well! Micah looks so cute, I love the picture where he is leaning into his bumbo, his legs are so cute and chubby!
PS Thanks soooo much for the package, I love it tons!
