Hey buddy,
It has been way too long since I've last posted here. The whole purpose of this bog was to capture your early life in words so that someday you could look back and see these times through our eyes. Over the past couple of months, I've been so focused on trying to be the best dad possible, I haven't really taken the time to journal for you. For that, I apologize. In my defense, any moment not spent playing with you is usually spent helping mom around the house, cleaning up something you spit/pooped/drooled on, or figuring out the next sensational method on how to get you to take naps.
So, it's been three months since you've entered the world and you've developed quite a bit.
You've discovered your vocal cords
This is both a blessing and a curse, depending on when you decide to flex this new skill. I love the little coos and ah's you throw out. You definitely have a high pitched scream that I'm certain could be used as a torture technique in one of those CIA black op sites.
You recognize me
This is one of my favorite developments. Nothing is better than coming home and seeing your face light up when you see me. One time, you even stopped nursing to look for me. I must be somewhat important for you to pull away from Momma's sweet nectar :)
You laugh
This I adore about you. I love that little giggle whether it be when I'm changing your diaper or you're playing games with your momma. Your smile is contagious and it makes being a dad totally worth it.
You roll over...sort of
You're doing your darnedest to roll over. Right now, it amounts to you lifting your legs straight up in the air and letting gravity pull you to one side. Once there, it's a bunch a wiggling that can only be described as a side-way hip thrust gyration that could make you the next sensation of So You Think You Can Dance.
You love books
You really, really love books. Clearly this is a trait you picked up from your mother as I pretty much only read (for fun) when I'm on vacation. That lovely stack of books on our bookshelf? Mostly your mom's books. The ones that are mine are the staple novels that everyone has read at some time or another. But you, my friend, love reading books. Granted, at this point it amounts to staring at bright colors but you get so excited when we read to you. I mean, legs pumping, arms flailing, and eyes darting every which way. Keep it up buddy, we gotta keep that brain growing.
In closing, it's been a great three months. Yes, some if it has been challenging but with every challenging moment, there are hundreds amazingly wonderful experiences we're are grateful for. I love you Micah and can't wait to watch you grow.
Love,
Dad
