Finding Nemo

One of Micah's favourite movies at the moment is "Finding Nemo" - although at the moment, he only really watches the first 20 mins or so just after Nemo gets taken.

He has three favourite parts:

1. When the baby fish is playing on the sponges and falls off and starts crying - Micah pretends like he's crying too
2. When the baby octopus says that he has one tenticle smaller than the other and twirls around - Micah usually twirls too
3. But the funniest part is when Nemo tries to say that he lives in an anemone - Micah tries to say 'anemone' too...which usually results in us laughing along with him!

Brown Bear, Brown Bear

A video of Micah and me reading the book 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see?'

He can remember the names of the animals and points them out when asked.

The joy of running

Micah doesn't walk anywhere....he runs! He particularly loves to run downhill as fast as his little legs will let him. I find it hard trying to keep up with him...especially since it usually means having to run UP hill in order to run downhill.
I hold my breathe half the time as he hurls downhill, hoping that he doesn't do a face plant! Who needs the gym when you've got Micah as your personal trainer??

Evel Knievel

We took Micah's bike to the park today. His legs are a bit too short and can't reach the pedals...so he has to move it "Flintstone" styles.

He did discover that rolling down the hill can be fun - despite a few falls and spills. Hey, Even Knievel had to start somewhere!!

Hmm...legs are too short

I think I can reach....

Aaarrgh, it's easier to just walk it!

Water Fun

It was a very hot day today so we headed down to Pyrmont Park to play in the water fountain. Micah was a bit hesitant at first but was soon (with Daddy's help) running around and getting soaking wet.

Lauitiiti came to see us while we were there. Micah let him carry him without any fuss. Looks like we're found ourselves a new babysitter!!

Round and around

See-saws are a thing of the past. Instead most playgrounds now have this round circle thingie that kids can go sit on and be pushed around. Sometimes Micah let's me put him on it but most of the time he just likes to push it around himself. I do get a good workout though!!

More fun at the park

Stair Master

Today was a beautiful day so as usual, we headed over to the park across the street. Micah loves playing on the stairs - of all places. There's an awesome playground around the corner but he spent most of the time going up and down the stairs. He'll be going up these on his own soon - but as you'll see in the video, Micah reckons you have to crawl before you can walk up the stairs!

Where's Micah?

Micah loves playing 'Hide n Seek' - although at the moment his hiding places are usually behind our backs or behind the window blind. He'll happily sit behind the blind for several minutes not realising that we can fully see him...plus his legs sticking out the bottom are a dead giveaway!!

Kids can be so funny!

Kung Fu Micah

There was a lot of giggles in the bath tonight, followed by 'Mama, come look!' So I went to see what the boys were up to in the bath. Micah was going through a series of karate kicks - side kicks, roundhouse kicks and kicks to the back....all followed by lots of laughter and giggles.

Wonder if he's too young to go for his black belt?!? :)
