Michael's Growing Up - Part 2

Pictures from 2005, when he started getting so big! Looking back on these pictures years from now when he's going to prom and wanting to borrow dad's car to go on a date, I'm sure we'll think he was so little but right now he seems so big.


More tummy time at five months.


Six months old, not so sure he likes these baths yet!


Cute as a bug, ready to experience Sea World with his buddy Davis.


Playing in his new playcenter, eight months old and wanting to stand up already!


This was the last day that Michael's mobile was attached to his crib, because he figured out at nine months old that he could stand up in the crib and yank it down. What fun it is to make mischief!


Learning how to wave hello at ten months (haven't got it quite right yet - palm the other way, kiddo!).


Loves to play with Daddy's golf balls (they're the perfect size!).


Playing in the tub - baths are fun now!


Look at what Red Envelope delivered - a year old baby!


Michael loves his sweater that Grandma Gayle made.


Helping in the kitchen, fourteen months old.


Playing in the back yard, Christmas time, 2005. Yes, short sleeves for Christmas in Arizona!

Michael's Growing Up - Part 1

I'll just admit up front that I'm pinching a fun idea from our friend Brooke. Brooke and Joe take a picture of their son, Brandon, every month and post the pictures online so everyone can see how Brandon's getting bigger all the time! We haven't been quite as diligent, but if I dig through the gazillion pictures we've taken of Michael I can find a good record of how he's gotten bigger too. Thanks for the great idea, Brooke!

These are his first few months in 2004.


Our little burrito, bundled up in the hospital the day he was born.


About one month old, propped up in the corner of the chair.


Our little pepper, dressed up for his first Halloween!


Napping on his tummy at three months old.


Four months old, learning to pick up his head and having fun doing it!
