Time of our Lives

It seems like every month we say "this is our favorite age" and month 5 is no different. MJ is getting to be such a little man. He still loves bathes and is strong enough now to splash water out of the tub. He also loves going for bike rides. Grandma Patrick takes him for a bike ride every chance she gets and he laughs and sings the whole way. Speaking of singing he has a pretty good voice and can jump to the rhythm of a song. He is all grins when we put music on and dance around the house as a family. Dancing while holding a 16+ pound baby is quite the exercise!



We attempted to take him to a EWU football game but we only lasted through pregame tailgating. It got too cold so we packed up, headed home, and listened to it on the radio. Hopefully we will have more luck when we take him to EWU's basketball games since they are all indoors. We have also been over to Julie's to visit his cousins. Riley is already over a month old and is absolutely adorable. I have decided Monek's just have gorgeous babies. Although MJ is not too interested in Riley he is fascinated with his cousin Taylor and for the first time yesterday they kind of played together. By kind of I mean Michael sat there while Taylor showed him how to make the toys make noise. It was very cute and I am sure they will have lots of fun together once MJ can crawl.


He has lots of fun activities lined up for Halloween. He was invited to his very first kids Halloween party by Carissa, an old co-worker of mine, and my work is throwing a party as well. Plus we plan on tricker-treating at a couple houses Halloween night.



Oh, I cant believe I almost forgot to mention MJ has learned how to give kisses! Granted they are big, open mouthed, super wet kisses. But aren't those really the best kind?
