Cuz

Michael's cousin Zack stopped by for a visit recently. Michael thinks he is so cool!

Chillaxin'

Nothing beats laying on the couch in your pjs watching cartoons and eating animal crackers.

Happy 15 Months!

Michael is 15 months old today. We spent the morning at the pediatrician's getting his checkup. Unfortunately he now knows what that means.....shots! He was not a happy camper and cried the entire time. Just when I got him settled down after his shots, they informed me that we needed to go have some routine blood work done. The look of fear on him while they drew blood broke my heart. I'll never get used to someone poking my child. Here's his latest stats:

Height - 29.75 in.

Weight - 22 lbs, 1 oz.

Head - 18.5 in.

Construction

This week we started and finished a new project on the house. One that we've been wanting to do since we first moved in. We replaced the back door and three adjoining windows with a 12' sliding glass door. The finished look is exactly what we were going for. Both middle sections slide open. Bella still hasn't gotten used to it. She continues to stand and bark where the old door used to be on the left. Between baby hand prints and puppy nose prints, I see a lot of Windex in my future.

Super Soaked

Michael loves playing in the water hose. He had fun on Saturday getting soaked and cooling off during the hot summer afternoon.

Bedtime Buddies

There are three things that Michael cannot sleep without. Monkey, Elephant, and Little Bear. Can you figure out who's who? Heehee, I know, real creative with the names! Michael loves his bedtime buddies. Frequently when he's restless and not ready to fall asleep, Michael gets a little mischievous and tosses his buddies overboard. Almost instantly he regrets this move and cries out for them. Mamma to the rescue! I'll rescue them once, but that's it. Funny how Michael knows this and keeps them snuggled close for the rest of the night.

Weekend Fun

We had fun this past weekend in Wimberley. Michael loved running around in the fresh country air. Even better was that his Uncle David and cousin Evan were there!
