Photo Shoot

December 11th

Today, I tried to get a few shots of the boys together on the rocking chair. Every time I said smile, Nolan would sit still and give me these beautiful, adorable smiles while Michael would jump around like a little monkey...suits their personalities perfectly!! Finally, Michael jumped right off the chair and the photo shoot was over.

Taking turns with Mommy

December 9

Taking turns and sharing is something we have been working on for a little while. Michael loves to fill his cup with water in the bath tub and dump it on his belly. Now, when he gets in the tub, he finds one cup for me and one for himself. Then we take turns filling and dumping our cups. :)

Santa Claus is coming to town..

December 6

Tonight, we went to the Warrington Firehouse to see Santa and to celebrate Uncle Dave beginning his journey to become a volunteer firefighter. We are all so proud of Uncle Dave!!!

Michael sat on Santa's lap for the first time..we were very shocked because he cried. Also, he was able to see the fire trucks and horses...but, the highlight of the night was definetly wearing Uncle Dave's fireman hat. Michael just adores his Uncle Dave..and this put a huge smile on his face!

Mommy's Helper

December 2

I just got out this tall stool from the McGettigan family...it works perfectly in our kitchen. It allows Michael to wash his hands and help me in the kitchen. Now, whenever he wants to get something on the counter or to get to the sink...he just pushes the stool over and climbs on up. Watch out...here comes Mr. Independent!


Also, he has started to feed the dog by himself. When I caught him feeding her it looked like there was a large amount of food missing from the container...I'm sure Clover was in heaven!

Late night...ready for bed....kisses from Mommy.

Elmo

December 1
Recently, we have started letting Michael watch a little bit of TV every day. His favorite show is Sesame Street and he just loves Elmo. We have several Elmo books from the Porco family and Michael pulls them out many times a day for Mommy and Daddy to read.

Thanksgiving

It has become a tradition to have dinner at Mom's house...which we love so much! We had a beautiful and delicious meal...she made enough food to feed about 5 families for just Mike, Michael, Mom and me. She does it every year...but the leftovers are great! I was hoping Michael would eat some turkey but he spit out his first bite(he has become a very picky eater, especially with meat). Then, we went to MiMi and Pop's for dessert. Michael is feeding Pop cool whip in this picture. It was very cute...once he got started he didn't want to stop and Pop just went along with it all!
