First Laugh

Little Michael laughed for the first time last night, it was so adorable. Mike and I were playing with him on the couch and when I kissed his belly he let out this huge laugh. It completely shocked Mike and I! We were able to get one more laugh out of him that night but nothing since. He is getting SO big and at his last doctors appointment he weighed 14 pounds. Even though he is up to 14 pounds its all height and no chub.

It seems like he changes everyday, he even got his first little knot in his hair. His favorite toy right now is a giraffe that he got from his family in Buffalo. Its small enough for him to hold onto and he loves it when we pretend like its giving him kisses. His grip is getting extremely strong which is fine except when he grabs onto your hair and will not let go.

He has also discovered his thumb! He doesn't suck on it though he chews on it. We think he might be teething because he chews on everything and slobbers like crazy. You have to be careful because if he gets one of your fingers in his mouth he really chomps down tight.

He is talking up a storm and becomes very proud whenever he makes a new noise. He is also a jumping maniac these days. He used to be content with standing, then he went to stomping and now its full on jumping. He is big enough for the jumper at daycare and just goes crazy.

Luckily he still loves daycare and they love him to. He gets the royal treatment. They even have a little excerise routine they take him though and it ends with a little massage. He is becoming more aware of the other children and even interacts with them a little bit. Needless to say he never has to fight for attention.
