the tooth!

It's buddy right next store seems about ready to pop as well!

11 months old

I love looking back at where we started at and where Mikey is now. It doesn't seem possible that his 1st birthday is almost upon us!

A bit tardy... Michael at 10 months

We've been so busy with life and the little boy that I forgot to post this one!

In month 10 Mikey FINALLY sprouted tooth #1... and he's cruising the furniture like a mad man and attempting 4 to 5 step trips all the time... soon enough there will be no stopping him!

My new favorite Mikey picture

Here's Mikey and Jack about 1 month ago during our trip to the McCarthy's. I LOVE this picture because they both look so happy!!! Mikey's new thing is to cock his head to the side when he wants to look cute... Not sure where he learned it from but he gets an AWWHHHHH from me every time he does it!

In other news Mikey's first tooth FINALLY broke through, no fuss, no crying, no more drool than what we've had for the past 7 months! Here's hoping the rest go as smoothly!

Vermont trip

Our final stop before heading home was Vermont. Johnner and Jamie Freitas hosted us in their beautiful new home.

Uncle John and Mikey build Lego towers (or John builds them and Mikey knocks them down!)
Aunt Jamie grabs Mikey for a snuggle!

Scenes of Boston

the 2nd leg of our trip took us to Boston where we stayed with Beth and Willie and boys. Somehow we have no pictures of all of them together! Hopefully someone else snapped a few! We spent time at Anne Freitas' house and had a great gathering of camp alumni, from Anne's 91 year old mom (aka Grammy) to the future Billings boys CJ, Sam, Mikey and Ben!
Does that kid have a license?
Great new jammies from Kate, Marc and Sam
