Micah had his 8-month birthday on October 28, which was an extra special day because it was also the day we did his baby dedication at church. It's always fun getting 2 kids ready for church on a Sunday morning, but we really did not need to be late that morning because I was working in the nursery during the Sunday school hour. The morning ended up being extra memorable because Micah decided to try to crawl down our stairs. I had left Micah with Jeremy in our bedroom to go brush Cora's teeth on the other side of the house. Which we were finishing up brushing, I heard this awful sound. I was afraid it may have been Micah falling down the stairs, so I went running. In the meantime, I hear Jeremy saying, "Oh, no buddy, I'm so sorry" over and over again, and the screaming began. It was terrifying. He looked okay and calmed down fairly quickly. He did have a knot come up on his head, but by the time we got to church, it had already gone back down. I spent the car ride to church on the phone with the nurse from our pediatrician's office. Our nerves were shot. Thank goodness, Micah never showed any sign of a concussion. He was just fine. He was dedicated that morning alongside his baby cousin, Harrison, and big cousin, Hayden. To make the day even better, my brother and his family also joined the church that day. SO, bad start to the day - good ending. :)
We also had a very enjoyable Halloween this year. Cora Leigh decided that she wanted to be a bee, so I decided to try and make Micah a honey pot costume to go with hers. We had a fun time celebrating Halloween with family the weekend before, and we went trick or treating with my sister and my brother's family.

| Bobbing for apples |

| Notice all the chunks missing from the apples. I think they spent more time eating than bobbing. :) |
 |
| Micah will be ready next year! |

| Halloween - she was ready to trick-or-treat! She got her new glasses the day before Halloween. |

| Trick or treating |

| Harrison had as much fun as he could stand. At least he was warm in that costume! |
 |
| Cora decided she didn't want to trick-or-treat any more. She just wanted to go home and eat her candy! |
So scary!!! Kayden fell off the back of this slide onto concrete that we had outside. Thankfully I was inside getting ready and nick was outside with him because nick said had I hear the noise his head made I woul have flipped. He showed no signs of a concussion, put to bed later that night, I went to work the next morning and when nick went to go get kayden up that morning he had thrown up in his bed. I was terrified, nick called pediatrician, she saw him and he was fine. Why do these babies have to scare us like that!! I'm TERRIFIED of the stairs in our house too! Thank goodness micah is ok!!!
