Today is Halloween, and Christian nor I have ever been big fans of this holiday. I have to say, however, that seeing little kids dressed up in such fun, adorable costumes makes it so cute. There is an innocence and excitement from the kids that is refreshing to see:) I also like today because it's the day that Micah turns 5 months. He seemed to be 3 months FOREVER, but 4 months really, really flew by! The big event of this month? Micah learned how to roll over. He didn't do this as a fluke like last month, but he rolled and you could tell he knew what he was doing. So fun to watch! Granted, he's only rolling from his back to his belly right now, but he can do it so easily and he's growing up so quickly already. Christian and I were commenting that this is probably our favorite stage so far, but it's also crazy to me to see how quickly he's growing. I was at church last night and there was a 6 week old there crying...you know that very distinct newborn cry...and I realized that even though it's only been 5 months, we are far away from that cry. :( I love where he's at, and every stage he's been so far. Looking forward to seeing what this month has in store.

"Hey, I remember this guy!"
"What's that? But I love the foot!"
"Okay, here you go Mickey. You can have my hand."
Things to remember:
- how mommy and daddy greased and oiled your hair in their attempts to rid you of cradle's cap...and it only took 3 days and 5 washes later to get your hair back to normal
- how you have become much more vocal, getting excited at almost everything
- how much you LOVE cups! You always like to put things in your mouth, but for some reason, cups are particularly interesting...
- how much you love to follow Frodo and get so excited when he walks in the room
- how you love to jump! The jumparoo has become a favorite in our house right now!
- how well you did with your first attempt at eating rice cereal...and how well you have done ever since. You are a pro at eating, and I know you are just waiting for the day when you are fed fruits and veggies too!
- how much you love to look and intensely analyze your hand!
Oh, it's going by way too fast! Can't wait to see you Micah, darling (and your mom and dad, too :-)
