11 Month Update

This posting is a week late because I was waiting to see if Michael's March Madness Bracket would win. However, since Villanova lost last night - he's done. We had Michael pick his teams by picking his preferred colors. We would show the team's colors to him and whichever he picked was the team we wrote down to win. His final four was Villanova, Clemson, Cornell, and Cleveland State. He would have won (out of the three of us) if Villanova won the National Championship. Oh well.

Anyway, only one month away until Michael is one year old. It is hard to believe that a year has passed so quickly. He can pivot around on his butt - he can turn in a circle. He likes to play peek-a-boo with us. His favorite toys are the computer desk chair (it spins!) and the TV remote. He likes to "walk" around the house with help (still shows no interest in crawling). He loves going new places and using his smile to win people over.

10 Month Update

Well, not too much has changed with his motor skills in the past month. He can move around on his tummy in a circle, but still doesn't go forward which makes it easier on Mom and Dad. He finally made it through a full five day week at day care. He hadn't had a full week previously because of either school being cancelled for mom or him having a cold. He had his first official "boo-boo" on February 7th. He reached for a toy and landed on it and it left a little mark on his forehead for a few days. He had his first non-family overnight visitors the weekend of Feb. 14th. He was excited to entertain new people. We tried to take him out in the snow after a big storm. We dressed him to the point he couldn't move (it took about 30 minutes to get him dressed). We stayed outside for 5 minutes because he was miserable. He's a master with his sippy cup now, but hasn't progressed to any people food yet. It must be a texture thing as he turned up his nose at mashed potatoes several times now. Here are new pictures:
