Unfortunately, the trip didn't go entirely as planned. Grandad was supposed to drive the moving truck down to Florida, but Hurricane Irma moved in and ruined that plan, so Grandad and Nana ended up coming back to Dayton for the weekend with us while a plan was worked out for how and when to move Great Grammy to Florida. Fortunately, we got to have some fun hiking with Nana and Grandad for the day they were here.
Ezra also turned 7 months old this week and is working on his two lower front teeth! He's developing quite the personality. He likes to let you know exactly what he doesn't want you to do by squawking the second you try to do something he doesn't like. He is also determined to learn to stand up and likes to pull up on anything he can. Unfortunately, this results in him falling over immediately upon pulling up, so I'm having to really watch him so he doesn't fall too badly. He has started to take to food much more readily and tries anything put in front of him, as well as plasters his face with said food in the process. Finally, he enjoys stealing toys that Micah is playing with because he thinks he's big and should be allowed to do everything Micah can. So it begins....
Micah, in the meantime, has started talking almost exclusively in full sentences AND now asks complete questions as well! His first complete question: "Mama, can you come in here?" I did a double take, haha. He also quotes whole sections of books correctly, loves to sing songs, and likes to tell you what to do (though now that he can ask questions, he does ask sometimes too). He also loves to climb, balance, and jump over and around anything and everything. We've (with Nana and Grandad's help) ordered Ezra and Micah a special surprise that we hope will be here next month to help with all that physical need for movement (and to hopefully spare my couches from getting climbed to death).
