Thirteen

Happiest of birthdays to my youngest today!!

Yup, my Micah is officially a teenager. (And now I have three!) Here are the height progression pics:

(I didn't take pictures of all three boys because I don't figure any of them really grew that much since the start of the month when I took them for Asher's birthday, lol.)

As you can see, he's starting to sprout. :) Despite his own impatience and desire to be taller than me, he's still a smidge shorter but definitely on the way up. Before he gets all teenagery, though, here's a look back at a group of photos I put together on his fifth birthday (one photo from each year)...

And here's my boy yesterday:

Given our low key celebrations this year (and the fact that his birthday falls on a Monday when Nathan's at his Boulder office and Asher's off at a day camp), we did most of our celebrating yesterday...saw the new Mission Impossible movie and went out to lunch. Tonight there will be cookie cake and singing. :)

Yup, he's a little bit of an imp still...getting ready to start eighth grade (homeschooling still with me)...excited about the coming First Lego League season...still loving karate and demo team...anxious to be old enough for high school (he plans to attend CEC like his brothers)...sad that Noah's off to college soon...and just full of all the emotions involved in the growing up he's working on.
