41 weeks

> these photos pretty much sum up M's personality: 

goofy, 

drooling,

won't sit still unless he has something REALLY cool (a.k.a my cell phone), 

needs to be watched closely AT ALL TIMES <

Micha, at 41 weeks old:

You are slowly weaning your nighttime nursing.

I still nurse you at around 11 p.m., and then again in the morning at 6.30 a.m..

But last night I ended up nursing you at 4 a.m. as well.

Baby steps...

^ ^ ^ ^

Speaking of baby steps, you can now cruise along the furniture in the living room with your pudgy little legs.

You love trying to get to places you're not allowed to be. Getting into mischief already!

^ ^ ^ ^

You are crawling like a champion, we've been so busy baby-proofing the house, aah!

^ ^ ^ ^

You still LOVE to eat, and you're able to eat smaller pieces of food, like raisins.

^ ^ ^ ^

You've been on your first bike ride last week when we were visiting Opa and Oma.

You got to ride on papa's back in the baby carrier, not the safest way to travel, but it was fun!

I can't wait until my new bike arrives with the bike seat so we can go on safe trips together.

^ ^ ^ ^

At Opa and Oma's house you swung on the swings for the first time too, you LOVED it!

We can't wait until this summer when we'll spend a few weeks there,

I can't wait to see you take your first real steps on their big grassy lawn!

^ ^ ^ ^ 

I accidentally cut your bangs a bit to short when I wanted to give a little hair cut, oops!

It'll grow back, don't worry.

I have no idea how to cut your hair, so maybe next time we'll go to the hair dressers.

^ ^ ^ ^

We think you might have hay fever just like me. (Is that even possible?)

You've been sneezing and rubbing your eyes and your nose so much lately, poor baby.

^ ^ ^ ^

You are still the happiest baby I know. I makes me feel like we're doing something right.

^ ^ ^ ^

I think you're quite smart too, you've really been practicing your words,

I'm pretty sure you say 'book', whenever you see one.

We love seeing you grow and learn and become more and more the little person you are.

We love you so much Micha boy!

Love, Mama
