Micah has reached his 10th month of life in the outside world and he learned his first word in sign – MORE.  He actually thinks it means “more please” since I always say “please” at the end of it when showing him.  Anyway, he has “spoken” his first word before being able to crawl.  This must be some sort of Guiness Record or something.  He can scoot around like an inchworm to get what he wants, but he has yet to get himself coordinated enough to get up on all fours and make it to his desired destination.  People have suggested that maybe he’ll go straight to walking, and I’m sure he would be a prime candidate for that.  But I’ve heard from people and read that children who skip the crawling stage end up being deficient in some physical/cognitive skills.  You could talk to an occupational therapist about it or just google it.  So, I’m trying to patiently wait for him to conquer crawling before I introduce him to walking. 

Anyway, here’s a picture of Micah saying his first word!

He would like you to have even “more” blessings this Sabbath day!  (And he’d like some more food…please.)
