March 2014

So Micah has had a busy wee month so far. Yesterday (19th March) he started crawling, on the same day I found him sitting in his cot after his sleep (he got himself into the sitting position from lying for the first time), and after I left him sitting and playing in Elias' cot , I came back in to find him standing up in the cot. His preference is to be in a standing position and he is getting stronger and more coordinated each day. He also likes to show off his ability to clap (although in the following youtube clip I could not get him to play ball - it is worth a look anyway: http://youtu.be/myhPnbtPXI8. I have also added a clip of him on his bike - quite difficult to record when trying to make sure he stays on the bike:) http://youtu.be/oaHbWdGVkKY

Elias has become very chatty, although not everyone would recognise all of his words. The most clear words are 'car, garden, fire, baby, bath, bus'. He is super cute. As mentioned in the previous post he is climbing everything. His latest trick is to get a little stool from his room and take it to the place where something he wants lives (and has been placed deliberately out of his reach). He made me laugh the other week, I had a packet of chocolate biscuits sitting open on the bench and he came running into the lounge with one and a huge smile on his face as if to say "look at the treasure I found". I let him eat it....next minuite I hear rustling in the kitchen and I yell out "Elias...no more biscuits". He comes back into the lounge with no biscuit so I am thinking "good boy for listening"....anyway, after putting him to bed that night I discovered a biscuit in the packet with a bite out of it :) I love his cheekiness. The picture below is of how I found him about a week ago...working under the walker...maybe he'll be a mechanic :)
