happy birthday micah!

It seems to be rather traditional for Currier little ones to be sick on their birthdays.  Poor Micah had a fever all day- so he stayed in his PJs and got lots of snuggles.  

Micah is sound asleep in this picture.  Drewie had invited him up to his lap and within a couple of minutes he had fallen asleep.  That is one of the up sides to  babies with fevers- they actually settle for a few minutes :)

At two years old Micah is definitely still the baby of the family.  He sleeps in a small crib that he could easily climb out of- but hasn't yet.  He still drinks out of a bottle too.  He loves to cuddle as long as he has his buppy (blanket), he loves cars and balls and books. He is trying to talk but if you're not an immediate family member you'd probably have a hard time figuring out what he's saying.  He says mama, dada, dew (for Drew), nana (Brianna) and ee-ah (Leah).  He struggles with the other kids' names.  Ball, snow, yogurt, car, lava (he learned that word from Caleb reading him a book about volcanoes!), stinky....those are words that we can all understand pretty easily.  He likes to scare himself by looking at books that have pictures of scary animals, or most recently, skeletons.  He opens the book, finds the picture, and then whimpers and runs away.  It makes us laugh!  He is not a great eater, but when he does eat his favorite thing is eggs.  That boy can put down three eggs with cheese in one sitting! We often find him sitting on the table so that he can be watching what someone else is doing- like school, playing  a board game, eating a snack.  He hates when everyone is not home.  We've found he has a hard time settling down at night if Matt isn't home or when the kids are at AWANA.  He doesn't smile as much as the others did/do, but when he does it melts our hearts.  He is a precious gift from God.  Happy  Second Birthday, Micah!
