Spetember 8

Today we went to MiMi and Pop's house for a visit. We were so thrilled to see GMa and GPa. They gave Michael a Paddington bear from England. It was very cute because he kept running around the kitchen and coming back to the bear to give him kisses. This picture was taken after all the running. You can see Michael's hair is all sweaty. He is just such a little hot pocket!!

My New Sneakers

September 7

I have been looking forward to buying Michael his first pair of walking shoes for so long. Of course, I wanted to buy a traditional pair of white walkers and somehow we left the store with silver and blue Nike sneakers!!! Mike felt strongly about buying these Nikes and I gave in. I should have known this would happen. Mike is such a sneaker nut!! It seemed very important to him and I figured I should choose my battles. Anyway, Michael can pull off any type of shoes...he is just so darn cute. He seemed to love the sneakers. When we first put them on him he walked around the mall looking at his feet and just kept smiling!!

My New Truck

September 6

Grandma picked up this new yellow truck for Michael and he absolutely loves it. Here are pictures of him playing with it for the first time.

Peanut Butter Hair Gel

September 3

Today, I gave Michael peanut butter toast for breakfast. He thoroughly enjoyed it as you can tell from these pictures. By the time he was finished it was all over his head and his hair was standing up. He kept touching his head with his peanut butter fingers and pulling his hair. What a mess!!

Already Cleaning

September 3

Michael loves using cleaning tools so today, I gave Michael a broom and put him to work on the sidewalk. It entertained him for quite sometime. I have to thank Nolan for passing this on to Michael. Hopefully, this will continue for a long time.

Labor Day Weekend

For Labor Day weekend we went to Chincoteague with the entire family. I was really excited to take Mike for the first time. We had a wonderful time. Of course, Michael is still such a little beach baby. He loved the ocean even more this time. Highlights of the trip were definetly kayacking, mopeds, crabbing (Katie caught enough crabs for us all to have for dinner one night!), The Island Creamery, and the beach!
