Micah waved "bye bye" for the first time today! Mama was leaving the house to get her eyebrows done and after she had nursed him and kissed him goodbye she started walking to the door. While her back was turned, Micah waved at her! Daddy said "he just waved bye bye!" and mama thought that it couldn't have been on purpose but she turned around and said "bye bye buggy" and he did it again! Our child is a genius! <3

 Our first family photo shoot! Micah bear was so very tired during the entire shoot but he was a trooper!

At Micah's 6 month check up he was 17.9 lbs (55th percentile), 28 inches (95th percentile), and his head was 17.5 inches (80th percentile!) His doctor said he was "very advanced" because he was very tuned into what she was saying and doing and kept blocking her attempts to poke and prod him with the stethoscope and other instruments. 

10/12 Bonnie's Birthday party! We got to see lots of family today and Micah got to meet some family members for the first time (including Aunt Bonnie herself!)

10/13 Mama and Micah went to Pretend City for the first time today. It was Halloween themed and Micah dressed up like a skeleton. We met up with our mommy-and-me group and it turns out that Micah matched two of his little buddies! Micah had a blast playing with his friends and putting all the new toys in his mouth (mama had to let go of all her germa-phobe tendencies for the day!)  Micah has started a new and very silly tongue move where he sticks out his tongue like a little lizard and then chews on it. Daddy, of course, got it on video! Micah has been sleeping on his tummy lately (thanks daddy!) and is now able to put himself back to sleep more often. He still wakes up as soon as mama lays down to go to sleep because he wants to come in bed with mama and daddy! He continues to wake us up in the morning by smacking us in the face at the same time and yelling. :) 

Unplanned matching!

Seriously? It doesn't get much cuter than this.

10/14 Daddy had to get media for a Halloween themed Mommy Matters Class at St. Joseph Hospital so mama and her meetup group went and sang songs and played. Micah got to wear his pumpkin costume and takes cute photos with his friends. ABC news was there too! Maybe we'll see Micah on TV?!

10/16 Micah's television debut! Daddy (being the amazing PR professional he is) got media for St. Joe's and Micah got a close-up!

10/18 Halloween Spooktakular. Mama's Halloween-love-fest continued and Micah dressed up as a little bat!

10/19 We met up with Anabelle, Maggie, and Anthony  for the Fall Faire in Newport Beach, ate lunch at Whole Foods, and walked around Fashion Island. Micah just loves his Uncle Anthony, he couldn't stop staring at him and smiling and when he held him he laid his little head on his shoulder! So sweet! <3
