a new pool

until he figured out he could splash in the pool like he can in the bathtub, Mikey was content to just chew on his boat...

A Target career path?

New Toys

yes... that's a toothpaste box in his hand... he prefers to play with that or junk mail rather than all his toys....

He can't get himself in the bouncer, but he can get himself through it...

Halloween 2007

I know this photo is a wee bit on the old side, but it was recently published in the Rochester Hearing and Speech newsletter for an article about the annual fundraiser in the fall called the Walkabout in mid October. Mikey and Mommy are posing with Carol, a coworker of Mommy's that was dressed as a witch for the festivities. Mikey passed himself off as a pumpkin!

And he's off!

Even though we aren't ready for it, Michael is exploring his world! He crawls all over the house and loves to find all sorts of things that baby's aren't supposed to play with (like plants and cords).

8 months!

it's getting harder and harder to capture our monthly picture on the couch. Mikey wants to GO GO GO! We've nicknamed him Speed Racer.

Michael has learned to crawl

While I do have a video clip of Michael crawling, I don't have the time to upload it this evening.... but I did figure out a way to keep him corraled today!!!! I was sad when the car seat toy that was bought for the 12 hour car ride from Charlotte, NC to Rochester NY was no longer able to be used (because big boy car seats don't have places for baby toys)... but it has a new life... attached to a laundry basket that houses Mikey when Mommy gets dressing in the morning!
