Now that Micah is 10 weeks old, we feel that his development has sped up even more! Every day Matt comes home and exclaims how Micah has learned something new just that day. The reality of "it goes so fast" with your kids growing up is hitting us hard already! Just this week, Micah has gotten much better at grabbing things hanging or sitting in front of him, he is starting to sit up better when propped up, he can stand in his bounce around toy and play with the toys (no bouncing yet), he "talks" and smiles more, and just last night gave us a first little laugh! Oh, and did I mention this kid LOVES water? The bathtub is his all time favorite place to hang out. He will sit in there as long as we let him and splash and kick. We have a water baby for sure! With all of this activity, it is no wonder that Micah has started sleeping through the night this week! He is getting so big, so fast, it's just crazy!
Micah and I are settling into our summer routine here at home now that school is out, the classroom is packed up, and my students have graduated from my room. One of our routines is a summer book club that meets every other Wednesday to discuss a book about writer's workshop and how that should look in our classrooms. Micah gets to come and join in the fun, as well as hang out with the one year old baby of a fellow teacher. Another fun activity for Micah and I is a Mom's group that is meeting throughout the summer to just hang out with our little ones and have some adult conversation too! We had our first get together last week and Micah was so warn out after from watching all the babies that he took a nap for 2.5 hours! When Micah and I don't have an activity for the day, we either run errands or just hang out at home playing, taking walks, a nd listening to music. In the evenings, Micah helps make dinner with Mom and Dad, goes on walks or lays in the hammock with us, and "talks" to us about his day. If there is a festival at the state fair, we walk down to check it out too (this week was Greek Fest). We even took Micah to P.F. Changs for a lunch date as a celebration of Matt and I's birthdays and to Buffalo Wild Wings to celebrate Father's Day, and Micah was so well-behaved!

Matthew and Allison, you guys are such great parents, exposing Micah to numerous activities, objects, and experiences. He's soaking up lots of knowledge! Since we rarely get to see him (and you), we love your blog and look forward to it each week!!
