Already 22 weeks

It's hard to believe that Micah is almost six months old. The time seems to have gone so fast and I find myself already wishing it would slow down so that he can be our baby forever. While I know that can't happen, the realization that we'll never get these days back keeps me appreciating each one of them, even when he has two diaper blowouts in one day or cries all through "Pirates of the Carribbean" at DisneyWorld. He's grabbing things and holding on to them and reaching for his toes and laughing and smiling huge smiles when he sees us - all small milestones, but so fun to see develop. He continues to adapt to whatever schedule his father and I request, and we know how blessed we are to have such a great little guy in our lives. By the way, the shoutout this week goes to the Pittsburgh folks who I saw at the Large Church Initiative Conference this week in Orlando. Good to see you Cindy, Sara, Brian, Heather, Karyn, and John! (A special thanks to the latter three for putting up with Micah during the aforementioned "Pirates of the Carribbean" ride, and to Heather for giving him the cool outfit in the picture above.)
