First Steps!

Well yesterday was a pretty exciting day! In the afternoon, Micah and I decided to take a walk down to the mailbox, and he walked all the way to the mailbox holding onto only 1 of my hands.  It is even more impressive when you realize that it isn't at the end of our driveway, the mailboxes are on a different street than ours.  It took us about 20 mins of his little steps to make it there.  Then, Brandon came home from work and Micah and I went outside to play on his slide while Brandon got the grill started up for dinner.  Then Brandon sat down on the patio with Micah and Micah took his very first step alone!!!!!!!!!! He did it three times..only 1 step each time and then falling into Brandon's arms.  But it's progress!!! Unfortunately, I didn't catch any video of it :(  But it was very exciting!  Now Micah has 54 more days to get even better at it before we go to Florida.  Brandon was worried that we might go to Florida and Micah still wouldn't be walking and he'd miss the first steps.  He was so excited that he got to witness the first steps, that he was actually home with us.
So only 54 more days until Micah and I leave El Paso forever!  (no desire to ever visit here).  It's hard to go through the house and get rid of things that we don't need anymore when Micah requires to much time and attention now and I am also going to school fulltime online.
I don't really have any pictures for this post, because well Micah is still sleeping today.  He thinks he's a teenager and often sleeps past 9am. But I did find this video on my phone that other day that Micah somehow videotaped all by himself...so here is Micah's point of view in life :)
