7 month Anniversary

Mikah is 7 months old (7 + 1.5 weeks actually!), has 4 teeth, and is a professional rugrat. He uses his potty regularly (Ben and I have limited the amount of poopy diapers to about 1 per week. It’s great.). If you don’t already know about it, do a quick google for elimination communication.

He has started solids and eats when we do… with plenty of breastmilk in between. We use the KidCo baby food mill and carry it with us when we know we’ll be out for a while. Mikah is also understanding drinking but has not grasped the concept of tilting the bottle or cup upward to get the fluid out. His favorite drink is coconut water. Yum!

In his spare time he can be found practicing his vocal range (as in volume) and using miscellaneous boxes as a prop to stand up. There is nothing more inspiring than watching the determination Mikah has to balance himself and stand. Ben and I are so excited for when he begins to take his first steps…

This was our first Christmas as a family. It was small and cozy and very peaceful and lovely. I don’t think either Ben or I have been happier than we are with each other and Mikah. We are tired, oh so very tired, but very content with life.

Wishing a safe and warm wintery season to everyone!
