Happy Birthday, Micah!




We survived our first birthday party with Micah!  Everything went smoothly.  He was a little overwhelmed in the beginning as everyone started showing up at our house, but he did well.  We had him wearing his "Little Brother" t-shirt and Nathan wore his "Big Brother" t-shirt.  We thought this might help Nathan feel more special while we celebrated Micah. :)  

He wasn't sure what to do with the birthday cake, but did enjoy it once daddy started giving him some bites of it.  The gifts didn't really phase him...his favorite was the curly ribbon bow. :)  We did enjoy ourselves and we were happy to show Micah off to some of David's extended family and my sister, Chandra, who had never met him before.

Of course, on Sunday morning, Micah threw up and had diarrhea and slept till about noon.  I thought he might have a virus, but he has been fine ever since.  Maybe his little stomach just couldn't handle the birthday cake and all the excitement.  Whatever the case, we are excited that our little boy got to celebrate his 1st birthday at home!
