Mekiah is finally sleeping through the night. I was getting so tired of getting up 3-8 times a night to lay him down and give him his pluggy. So, after two nights of Jim and I spending the night on the couch and letting Mekiah cry it out, I think he finally got it. We hung up a curtain by his bed so that he can not see us in our bed and I think that helps. It would be nice to have Mekiah in his own room but that is not really an option. Our other bedroom has three desks and two computers in it for our home business. Last night Mekiah slept for 10 hours and never made a noise. Praise the Lord!!!!
Mekiah said his first word last week. It was "up", or "pup" as he says it. Two days ago he learned his second word which is "hot". He says this one very clearly. He learned "hot" from touching our hot baseboard heater. He does not touch it any more.
Mekiah also knows the sign for ball. He can not do it himself yet, but if you show him the sign, he will find his ball and get it. Our next sign that we are working on is "cracker".
Mekiah has taken several steps now too. He has taken two steps on his own and with prompting, he has taken six. I think he will be walking within the nest couple of weeks.
Mekiah enjoyed his first Valentine's Day. His Auntie Crystalyn and two cousins came over and babysat so Daddy and Mommy could go and watch a movie. He loved the balloons that his Auntie brought over! We love our sweet little boy
SO much!!
Today Mekiah had a lot of firsts. To begin with he got his first ear infection. Not exciting news but still a first. Mekiah also got his first haircut and he took his first step! Daddy gave him his haircut and he did a pretty good job. Our little boy is not a baby anymore, he is a toddler now. How they grow!!
Mekiah loves hallways! They echo, so he loves to scream and holler whenever we enter a hallway. (Or entryway, or tunnel) It is quite funny! Mekiah is 11 months old now and he loves to push things around the house, play peek-a-boo and clap.
