Strong Museum of Play

Mikey and Daddy on the merry-go-round.

Hey Ernie, are you home???

Jen's mom and dad gave Donald a membership to the Museum of Play for Christmas and sent it to us a bit early. We've been once and loved it! In fact, I think we might go back this weekend!

Decorations

Quiet time with good friends

The stockings were hung, by the chimney with care... .

Christmas fun

pony rides

Meeting Santa. From a distance Michael was thrilled to spot Sinta (that's how he says it) but once it was time to meet the big guy, Mikey clammed right up.

He was pretty excited about the truck that he got to pick from Santa's stash though...

Raking the leaves

Mikey was a big help raking our leaves and jumping into the piles!

Halloween 2009

Here's the candy corn and his pumpkin patch!

25 months

1 year, 1 month and a few days.. Michael has exploded with new words. He loves to COLOR COLOR COLOR and play with his toys. He'll sit and relax for a few moments at a time. He's a great guy and we are so blessed to have him.

Big Boy Bed

This weekend we took down Michael's crib and set up his toddler bed. He did great on night #1 (and great so far on night #2 KNOCK ON WOOD!)

Billings people, check out the bear on his pillow! He's named it "baby". Of course most of the stuffed animals in the house are named "baby" as well, but he insisted that Billings Baby be the one to hang in bed with him!
