Flashback at 37 weeks

Micah is 37 weeks old! He's pretty happy about that. At his nine-month checkup (they went by weeks this time), he was 22.4 pounds and 28.5 inches long. He's slowed down a little with his growing but as his pediatrician put it, "He's still a big boy." This afternoon, I thought Micah would like to try the rocking horse again. As an interesting comparison, I thought that I would also include in this post a picture we took of him the first time that we put him in it. He was all of three weeks old... Look at how little he was! It's so easy to forget. His little legs were like matchsticks; now they're pudgy chunks. He was slumped over because he couldn't hold his head or body up. Now he can sit for long periods of time, no sweat, and is almost ready to rock the horse himself. His hair was wild and crazy...well, some things haven't changed! I took this picture of him looking at Heinz and then converted it to black and white on the computer. I think it's interesting to do that every once in a while. It captures his adorable expression in such a different way. And check out the drool on his chin!
