All Smiles All the time

What haven't we done in these past few weeks? As everyone experiences summer is go go go and before you know it its over and the snow is falling. Little Michael has been enjoying BBQ's, birthday parties and tons of walks through the park. I had an overnight conference to attend and had to leave him overnight, talk about heart breaking. But Mikes parents came over to help him out and they had a ball; Grandma even gave little Michael a bath.

Bath time is still his favorite thing to do. His whole face lights up when he first hears the water running. He loves to float, with me holding his head. He also loves to stomp at the water and stare at his feet, in fact he loves to do everything in the bath minus staying still.

He smiles almost non-stop right now and is finally starting to like his toys. Much to my delight he loves reading books too. His favorite book is a colorful counting book, go figure he likes math already. He also loves the books with different textures too and enjoys batting at the pages. He is getting so strong that I really have to hold onto the book or he would easily rip it out of my hands with his new hulk like grip.

Dads been busy too and just finished installing a brand new floor in the kitchen. He has also refinished the deck, replaced his brakes and rotors, and done about a million other projects. With little Michael's baptism party coming up all the projects we had on the back burner have been moved up.

Stay tuned for baptism invitations.

8 Weeks Old

Little Michael is getting to be so big and even more fun. His new favorite thing to do is stand up, you have to support him because at 8 weeks the balance in obviously not there but he looks so proud when he stands. He also loves to jump especially in the bathtub because he likes watching what it does to the water. Bath time lasts for at least an hour every night because we have so much fun.

He started daycare yesterday which killed me and Mike, little Michael did great. I broke down and visited him on my lunch break and he was being held and fed. I sat with him for a little while and then went back to work. While I was holding him he kept doing the one eye peak to see if I was still there. When we picked him up they said he did great and was a very happy little boy. There is a cute little girl in there that's almost 3 months old that everyone says he will be dating in no time.

Developmental changes include keeping his hands open instead of clutched into a fist, smiling more and talking up a storm. He is also content by himself for small periods of time and is starting to get interested in toys. He mostly likes to look around outside and with all the flowers in bloom he has plenty to stare at.
