One day short of 16 months old and last night Micah didn't wake up a single time! That's not to say that he exactly slept through the night. We have this whole new plan that is getting up to the sleeping through the night point. When Micah wakes up crying, Michael goes in and puts him back to sleep. Crying never leads to getting fed. However, he really does eat a lot during his nursing session in the middle of the night, so I have an alarm on my phone set and I go in and wake him up to feed him at 5am. So last night the only time he was up was when I woke him at 5am! I am very happy with this. The theory is that I can prolong the length of time he goes without eating once he knows he has to rely on me to come in and feed him instead of waking up and demanding it.
On another note, we had very beautiful weather last weekend and got outside a couple times. On Saturday we went to the park and Micah had a good time on the playground, in the swings, and also in the mud! On Sunday, we took him up to the reservoir in the stroller and then let him walk around the reservoir himself. He made it almost the whole way around walking on his own, that's a full mile! We stopped to look at the geese which were very impressive, and we got turned around a few times because people were smiling at Micah and walking in the opposite direction so he just turned around and followed after them. :) It is a pleasure to be this baby's mama. He makes me so happy every day!
