Happy 4th Birthday, Micah!!





Time is such a funny thing.  It's hard to remember a time before Micah joined our family, but it is equally hard to believe he is four.  But time marches on, our kids continue to grow, and today Micah is turning four!!  He brings so much joy and humor to our family.

We have been celebrating for two weeks.  Micah had two birthday celebrations over Thanksgiving, one in Illinois and one in Kentucky.  Today we had a small family celebration and on Saturday we are celebrating with our church friends.  It is more of a birthday month instead of a birthday:)  But it has been fun and hopefully one that Micah will remember.

So Micah, what type of boy are you?
  • You insist on being referred to as a "handsome, big boy".  We can't call you cute or pretty...it must be handsome.  In fact, all things that you like must be handsome...dogs, flowers, deer, pictures...it doesn't matter, it must be called handsome.
  • You have recently become infatuated with Batman.  It all started at Halloween when you chose a Batman costume.  It then spilled over into pajamas, Batman figurines, even a bat cave.  But what makes it SO funny, is you can't say Batman.  You say "fatman"!!  You can say "bat" and you can say "man", but when you put them together, it comes out "fatman".  Makes me smile every time.
  • You love to snuggle, especially at night.  After Abby goes to bed, you always say "just five more minutes" and you spend that time snuggling with Daddy on the couch.
  • You frequently say this line.  "Mommy, I want to tell you sumpin'....I wuv you!"  It melts my heart!!!
  • You love your brother and sister.  You are always so excited when Abby comes home from school and you love to talk to Jude and make him smile.
  • I love all the funny ways you say things:  
    • Fatman is Batman.
    • "All by my wone" means all alone or all by myself.
    • Hairhawk is mohawk.
    • All birds are referred to as "My birds"...why I don't know.
    • Anything brown is referred to as chocolate.
  •  You LOVE chocolate milk.  And I do mean LOVE.  You and Papaw Jeff will always tease each other about who the chocolate milk belongs to.
  • Since you were old enough to walk, you have always been attached to something, it just changes all the time.  You will carry around the item of the week for days and a time, even at night, until something else grabs you attention.  Some things you like have been rubber balls, Cars Go Fish cards, Finn McMissile.  As of late it has been weiner dogs or "Fatman"
  • You want to wear sweatpants and cowboy boots almost everyday.  In fact, if I can get you in tennis shoes, it is pretty big deal.
  • You don't really cry that much, so when you do, it pretty much breaks my heart.
You are one of the sweetest boys in the world.  You light up the room as soon as you walk into it.  You are so special to all of us.  We love you more than you will ever know.

Happy 4th Birthday, Micah!!
Love, Daddy, Mommy, Abby, and Jude
