First Halloween

Michael had such a special first Halloween. We were able to see Katie, Robby, Nolan, and Colin in their costumes!! First we met up with Nolan and saw Robby and Katie in their Halloween parades. Then, we went to see Daddy at work. After that, we caught up with Colin to get a picture of the boys together. Michael looked so adorable in his bumble bee costume. It fit him perfectly!

On the way to see Daddy, Michael found his feet while riding in the car seat. It was so neat to watch him stare at his orange socks. He kept kicking his feet and trying to reach for them for almost the entire car ride!! He is so smart and sweet. I just love him so much!

Carving Pumpkins

Last night, we had so much fun carving pumpkins for Halloween. Afterwards, we put Michael in his costume to take some pictures. Aunt Aimee gave him this bumble bee costume...he is by far the cutest bumble bee I have ever seen!!

Bath Time

These are some cute shots of Michael during his bath. I just had to style his hair that way...don't you love it!?

My Little Man

In the past couple of weeks, Michael has really become so much more interested in his surroundings. It has become difficult to nurse him during the day because he is so busy looking around and wanting to smile and play. It is such a joy to watch him discover new things!

In this picture Michael is trying to pet Clover. It is so sweet...Michael smiles everytime he sees Clover!

Happy 3 Month Birthday, Michael!!!

Happy baby, happy day! Today, was Michael's 3 month birthday. MiMi, Aunt Jillian, and Colin came over to visit in the morning and afternoon and Grandma came to visit the birthday boy this evening. Finally, Daddy came home from work around 7 P.m. and we took pictures of Michael in his pajamas with his cake. For Michael's 3 month birthday cake, I splurged and got a miniature white chocolate raspberry tart for Mike. We were having so much fun and taking so many pictures that the candles burned all the way down to the cake!! We are crazy parents who are crazy about our little Michael!! Happy 3 Month Birthday, Michael! We love you to the moon and back!! xxxooo

Michael was so much more interested in the lighted candles this month. Doesn't it look like he wants to take a big bite out of that cake? He has my dad's smile in this picture...i love it!

Thank you, PopPop!

Thanks to PopPop, Michael has a new favorite toy. I let him try this toy for the first time today and he figured it out right away. He loves kicking with his feet to make the lights and music start. This toy was given to Michael from Aimee. It was a toy that my dad had given to Katie. It means so much to me to have a little bit of something from dad. It is so wonderful how my dad's love continues to grow and shine bright in all of our lives!! I love you, Dad!

Also, Aimee gave Michael his PopPop book recently. I am so emotional over it that I haven't even been able to look at it yet! Mike has read it and he loved it. Thanks, Aimee, for a beautiful gift that I will cherish forever....it is priceless! Here is a picture of the cover-isn't it so beautiful!

GO, PENN STATE!!

Well, we all know that Mike is a Notre Dame fan. But, lets face it, Michael was born into a Penn State family...and it looks like he has already chosen mommy's team. He is such a smart boy!! GO PENN STATE!!!
