He has been all over the place lately. He's a speedy crawler, and is now wanting to use our hands to help him walk. If he had it his way, he would use our hands all day long! Which is quite tiring, let me tell you.
Remember when I did the post about how I will raise my baby boy? I've decided…I will raise him with an overwhelming amount of love. Although, he will be disciplined for things, he will get a lot of love! What mom wouldn't raise her kids that way?
Right now Micah is a spoiled little boy, and I am starting to feel guilty about having another child! Does this happen to single kid moms? I just think of how it is right now, and it is such a beautiful thing…I know it will be even more beautiful with another child, but I always wonder if Micah will be okay. Haha, I am crazy huh? People do it every day, and here I am, Miss Only Child! Thinking that Micah will suffer when we have another kid! I am sure that he will be better because of it. I hope that I can find a good balance, once I get the hang of having two kids.
Here I am going into detail about having another child…no, I'm not pregnant. We are thinking of trying after my marathon in December. Ideally, I would like to be pregnant in June (six months later). Then maybe we will have a spring baby, and our kids will be a little over two years apart.
Micah and Mama went to Deming for five days, and had a lot of fun. Micah loved spending time with his grandparents, and they really enjoyed getting to spend more than just a rushed trip with him. It is really good that we were able to do that.
Soon Conrad & I will be leaving Micah with his Ley grandparents so we can try to get an elk to provide for our family for the year. I have been having anxiety about going for months now, but I think I should go. I know Micah will be fine, although he will have some adjusting to do. It is hard to leave him, but I know it is good for Conrad & I. I would only be leaving him for Saturday and Sunday, so it isn't as long as it was when I went to my friend's bachelorette party! I just know I will be thinking about him the whole time.
I'm almost halfway through marathon training, and it has been trying. It is so much harder to train by yourself than I thought it would be. When I was half marathon training, Steph was in LA and I was in ABQ, but it was okay because we talked about it to each other every day, and we would motivate one another to keep going. Now, it is hard because I don't have that extra motivation. All the motivation I have is within myself. I know that it will probably be even more gratifying once I finish to know I did it all by myself…but I can tell you right now that the next two months are going to be difficult for me! I just recently finished my fourth half marathon (Zia Pueblo), and it was fun!
Micah is: sleeping through the night, still taking two 1/2 naps, eating everything, saying "dog" in addition to "mama" & "dada", learning to walk (with our hands), learning to lay on his back in the bathtub, crawling quickly, clapping his legs (he doesn't clap his hands), waving hello and goodbye, signing "milk", and learning more and more every day!
Daddy & I sure love the little guy!
