Micah Beckham is ONE

Micah turned ONE!

We were a couple of weeks celebrating because his real birthday fell on the other kid's last day of school and the day we were going out of town visiting family.
He still thoroughly enjoyed his party and didn't even complain about it being late.

He's not sure what everyone is making such a big deal about while we are all singing to him.

He notices the candle and really likes that! (Just wait until he tastes what is under it!)

What is this thing?

This is pretty good!

Ice Cream!! That's what I'm talking about... and who needs a spoon?

Present time!

Aunt Tera, cousins and Great Grampa brought such fun presents!

He loved the balloons and tried to figure out how to hold them all at once.

Don't you just love his hair!

The next morning, first thing, he went into the living room to play with his new presents.

Dallin loves a party! (Tera's son)

Micah is such a joy in our home!! We don't know how we would live without him. He seems to have a very content nature. He's quiet and simply likes to take in his surroundings but he also sometimes loves to play and laugh. When he hears music he loves to dance. He loves playing with Jacen, Linnea and Gavin. He's a momma's boy and often only mama will do. He walks and even runs all over the house and loves finding the toilet seat left up, much to my dismay! On that note, he simply loves all water. He loves to go outside and for long walks. He loves reading books too.

At the party, we each wrote a letter to Micah that we put into a time capsule. We will open it on his 15th birthday. It was fun to write to him about what he's like now and to speculate on what he'll be like when he's 15. It was fun to note how old we would all be then too. Jacen realized he would be 28 and probably be starting a family of his own.

Happy Birthday Micah!!
