C squared

Ignore the bed head from the pictures that follow, but Micah has really done a great job in the last month learning his colors and working on coloring pictures. I would say Micah learned his colors in about a week's time, and knew them by the end of January (which would make it 20 months - I want to make sure I have that time frame written down:)). His coloring consists of Elmo and Oh-Ah (Curious George).

The second part of that C squared is counting. I have a video from last week that I have tried multiple times to upload, and it just won't work, so you'll have to take my word for it...but I was able to get Micah counting and you can very clearly hear "eight, nine, ten". Now, although we thought we had a boy genius on our hands, we have realized over the week that he's not quite as with-it as we thought:) Currently he counts like this: "one, two, four!" Everything is equivalent to four, and three doesn't really exist right now...in time, right? But he is able to grasp the idea of multiples, and although he's clearly working on counting we still have aways to go.

I know I've mentioned this on numerous posts, but it is such a joy as a parent to watch your child grow and learn. He's such a sponge right now, and I'm pretty sure it will just continue on as he ages and grows. I seriously am loving every stage of that parenthood journey...and only hope I can say that as we are about to bring another little boy into our family! How blessed we are.
