My new toys - My Feet! 7/07/09

Michael has been trying to reach for his feet for quite some time, but now he's finally able to hold on to them really well. We also discovered that Michael is growing teeth!! The bottom left tooth is the first to break the surface of his gums. It won't be long before he can start eating solid foods... He's growing so fast.

Mom: How's your rainforest gym, Michael?
Michael: Oh, I dunno. I'm playing with my feet!

Fourth of July Fun

We celebrated the Fourth (and Mommy's Birthday) at Disneyland and at the Cook Family Residence. We went to Disneyland first thing in the morning and rode on Michael's favorite ride - 'It's a Small World' and not so favorite ride - 'Snow White'. I don't think we'll be going on Snow White ever again because it was pretty scary! During the day, we went to the Cook's annual BBQ. Adelyn was so nice to share her cool pool with the kids. At night, we went back to Disneyland to enjoy the spectacular fireworks show, but Michael slept through it all. We'll try again next year.

The kids: Michael (3 months), Charlotte (6 months),
Cousin Ethan (6 months) & Adelyn(20 months)

This Snow White ride is scary!

First Disneyland Visit 6/24/09

We went to Disneyland to celebrate Grandma Diane's Birthday. It was the perfect day to be there - it was partly cloudy but nice and warm. My first Disney ride was 'It's a Small World' and I loved the lights, sounds and little people from all around the world. There were so many things to keep me busy! It was so much fun!

Oops! I rolled over again! 6/16/09

Michael rolled over on to his tummy for the first time today! He rolled over three times in a row without hesitation. And out came a blob of spit up on his third try...ending all the fun.

2 Month Appt (minus 1 week) 5/26/09

Michael had his 2 month Baby Well Appointment just shy of his actual 2 months. He's growing just fine. The doctor called him a "wiggle worm" as she checked his heartbeat. He tried to impress her by trying to crawl, but he's not quite there yet!

Stats:
Weight - 13lbs 8oz (93% growth percentile)
Height - 23 inches (64% growth percentile)

Looks like he's getting heavier than most kids his age! And he's almost half as tall as his mommy! He also got 3 big shots in his legs, but took it well after a little bit of daddy comforting.

It's Gametime! 5/23/09

This is how the boys watch baseball... belly showing and a bottle [of milk] in hand.

Tummy Time 5/18/09

Watch as I lift my head up and listen to the sounds I make. I think I'm trying to talk already!! Excuse the loud music in the background...
