It is hard to explain all the ways in which this baby is changing. For one thing, he definitely does some kind of tantrum thing when he doesn't like our suggestions as to what he should be doing. For example, he heads to go up the stairs, I pick him up and turn him in another direction, he goes straight to his knees, arches his back, throws his head back as far as it goes and falls over backward right onto the top of his head. Of course, this pretty much always happens when we are physically holding him and so he never actually smashes his head on the floor but he sure tries.
In the last day or two, his mimicking has come into full swing. He recognizes when you are saying something you want him to repeat and he tries to say it. He doesn't necessarily retain it at all, but he'll repeat words whenever prompted.
I'm not sure when we introduced this to him, but he's been really into tickling my belly button. He actually lifts my shirt a little bit and sticks his finger right into my belly button, which leads me to shriek of course and this is hilarious to him. He never ever gets tired of this game, he loves making me scream and just dies laughing every time!
When I picked Micah up from the babysitter last Wednesday, I commented that he usually wears his shoes all day long at home because he loves putting on and wearing his shoes and socks. Literally that night, we came home and he pulled both his socks off and walked around barefoot all night (keep in mind this is a night when it was probably seven degrees outside)! Every day since then, he has been loving pulling off his socks. He takes them off every time he's on the changing table and when he wakes up from naps, he takes them off when he's playing in the living room and carries them around in his mouth while he works with his toys, he occasionally wants help putting them back on but he is definitely experimenting with being a barefoot baby!
