Changes

The past 10 months have been filled with many changes in the Buffaloe family! It's hard to believe that just 10 months ago, we held a sweet 7 lb 9 oz baby in our arms for the first time and he had beautiful blue eyes and dark hair. In the past 10 months, his eyes have turned an even brighter blue but his hair is now a light brown/blonde. When he was born, everyone said he looked like Michael, but more and more people say he's starting to look like me and my family, mainly my brother Jeremy. Micah's already had a bout with a stomach virus right after Christmas and it was not fun but he was a trooper. He's mastered the word "Da-da" and says it quite often. He's said "Ma-ma" but only a handful of times. He can clap and wave now and I have already started to work on baby sign language with him. He loves bananas and will shovel them in his mouth as fast as he can. He loves feeding himself pieces of sweet potato too but is not a fan of steamed broccoli, cauliflower, and carrot. We will keep working on those though. He now has 6 teeth and chews very well pretty much anything we give him. He does the bear crawl and pulls up on everything. He loves cruising around on anything he can find to push around the house and will walk when we are holding his hands. Just recently he's started walking only holding one hand, instead of having to have both held. Every few days, we are experiencing new milestones with Micah and are loving almost every minute. I could do without the separation anxiety moments, but I know that's just a phase. We are looking forward to more changes that I know are coming our way and just trying to really cherish all the moments we have with Micah and the memories we are making with him. We are so thankful for this precious gift we get to watch grow daily!
