I can't believe our little Maddy is already 6 weeks, time is certainly flying by! And she is no longer a tiny little peanut-she is our little chunk-a-monk! She is awake more and making eye contact and cooing sounds at us. She has the cutest smile that lights up her whole face but we have yet to get a great photo because only one of us is usually with her at a time. Divide and conquer with two kiddos!
Micah is finally starting to feel better after 20+ day illness in which he was vommiting and not eating. We ended up in the ER to rehydrate him again (same exact time he was in the ER last year!) and went to the doctor several times. He is finally eating again (about 7 times a day actually, he can't get enough!) and gaining back the weight he lost. It was so hard to see him so lethargic and thin! He missed a lot of fun Halloween events again but he did feel well enough to trick or treat and it was SO fun to watch him. He was so excited when he realized he got candy at the first house. He yelled and sang "CANDY!!" and then dance-walked to the next house. He looked so super cute as Daniel Tiger too! He loved seeing all the houses decorated in spider webs, skeletons, and Frankensteins! He also was great at handing out candy. We celebrated with Grandma Lind and Grandpa Sam at their house so after we went trick-or-treating we had dinner and helped hand out candy to the hoards of children that come to their neighborhood to see the awesome pirate ship house and other homes that go all out. It was the perfect Halloween and we were so happy he got to do something fun even though he wasn't 100%. He is still battling a cough and doesn't have the same energy he usually does but we are hoping for the rest of his symptoms to clear up soon and for him to be running and playing outside again. We've been stuck inside for about a month now and ready to get ox
Micah says the funniest things! Some of his newest words are opportunity, "iffin," "apable to" (a combination of able to and capable),
HIs favorite thing to do is still read, although our routine got very thrown off during this long illness with a newborn so he got a bit more screen time than we'd prefer. He now asks to watch something every day and he picks between Daniel Tiger, Sesame Street, Room on the Broom, or Gruffalo's child. He get's so excited when he watched ROTB-it's always been one of our favorite books so it was perfect to watch during October in anticipation of Halloween.
He is already talking about Christmas and Santa and mama cannot wait to get decorating! Daddy and I are constantly amazed by how smart he is. He has high emotional intelligence and can identify feelings and empathize with incredible insight. When we all sit down and eat dinner together I'm always amazed by some of the things that come out of his mouth-our baby is growing up! It is so fun and amazing to watch your kiddos becoming who they are. I love to see both of their personalities unfold.
