Standing

The longest Michael has stood without holding on...can you tell he was excited?

Row, Row, Row Your Boat...

As soon as we start to sing, Michael hangs on to our fingers & 'rows' all by himself!

Home Sweet Home

Michael LOVES this toy

He pushes it away, then...

pulls it towards him!

Peeking around the couch...

Ready for church

Christmas 2009

On our way to Mom-mom & Pop-pop's house, we got a car wash.

Michael's face was priceless...

Opening a present on Christmas Eve

Michael was a good boy over the past 10 months!

Walking over to his presents

Busy at work...he loves to bang toys on the floor!

My first golf clubs from Mom-mom & Pop-pop

Michael's favorite gifts were the books and the dog pull toy

Heading to the fire...

Snowed In

Michael loves grabbing the gold ornaments &

looking at his reflection!

Snow play indoors since Michael has a cold/cough...

He did not show much interest in the snow...

Michael loves to cruise around everything.

He's beginning to stand independently for a few seconds!

He LOVES this bike & enjoys getting rides from Daddy!

Legs up + smile = "I'm ready!"

Michael can almost get on/off the bike all by himself!

First Christmas Tree

We went to a tree farm last Thursday to pick our tree!

Didn't seem to mind touching it...

Our 8 1/2 ft tree

Thanks Aunt Jill for my first ornament!
