15 months

Taken on Dec. 18th, 2008.... the only way he would sit still was if he could hold his train!!!

Mikey and the train

Watching the train this year with Daddy

What a good book!

Mikey loves his books!

Anyone seen Mikey? All I could find was this snowman!

Mikey really liked the ornaments they had displayed!

Guess what skill Mikey mastered today??

Mikey figured out how to crawl up in this chair today... the rest of the day was spent practicing over and over and over again.... he's pretty decent at getting out of the chair as well... no bumped heads yet!

I know it's a bit tardy, but here are a few of Mikey on his 14 month birthday... Each month it gets harder and harder to get a good shot of him but I'll keep plugging away!

Mikey and Grammy Jean tackle a difficult puzzle together.

This was the toughest photo shoot yet! Mikey does not like to sit still these days! He now has 4 teeth and jabbers alot!

A visit to the Pumpkin Patch

We live around the corner from a great garden shop. In the fall it morphs into pumpkin heaven and Christmas is spectacular.... The cutest pumpkin in the whole patch!

Mikey likes that one!

Scary Frankenstein and Grammy Jean

The best pumpkin around!

Another party? Happy Birthday William, Michael and Max!

we went to NJ to celebrate the birthdays of my cousin's sons (William and Max) along with Mikey's birthday! It was a great day... The cousins:
William, Coco (Nicole)
Michael, Jessica and Max
Michael loved exploring all of Max's toys!

Grammy Jean insisted on buying Mikey a vacuum... He actually gravitates towards it.... Sometimes I wonder if he's really my kid...

He tried to lick the cake at first....

But then he got the hang of it!
