All we are saying, is give peas a chance!

Yes, I did write that. Elliot has been walking around here for days singing that. You see, Micah had his first taste of veggies on Tuesday . . . peas! He loved them. We're not sure which veggie is next, but we'll be eating peas for a few days.




And by the way, we got a shot of Micah giving himself a bottle:

I'm a big boy now!

Last night, I took Micah up to bed, put him in his pajamas, and sat with him in the glider to give him his medicine. We normally give him his medicine either in a special medicine pacifier or a thin 2 ounce tube bottle (the ones we were given in the hospital). The delivery method of choice last night was the tube bottle. Much to my amazement, Micah took the bottle from me . . . and gave it to himself. He held it the entire time, tipped it backwards and finished the entire thing without any assistance from me! He was clearly announcing that he is becoming a big boy. I was so proud of him . . . and sad at the same time. I love watching him grow, and it is so much easier to interact with him now that he can do more on his own and he has definite opinions and likes, and yet . . . I miss my little baby, and I'm flabbergasted by how quickly the time is flying. How is it possible he is almost 5 1/2 months old now?
