My new trick

Michael just figured out that he can sit on this. He hasn't quite figured out that he can push himself around yet.

Look what else Michael figured out he can do.

ooh, what does this button do?

Me and Michael on the train. Michael loved the train but cried on the Carousel.

Our Trip to the Zoo

James cracking Michael up by drinking out of a water bottle. Silly kid.

We went to the zoo today with Heather, Madilyne and James. Michael showed way more interest in the animals here than in DC. He also was very amused by James and called him his "buddy".

A scrap I did of our trip to the Outer Banks.

A week in Maryland

Well, since it rained the entire time and Michael and I had colds, our activities were limited. We checked out Arundel Mills (where it turns out we narrowly missed running into Emily and Drew), the new Target in Rockville, and even found a dress for me to wear to Katz's wedding. Thursday we were planning on going to the zoo but the weather forcast was wrong and it was raining once again. We went to the only McDonalds in the area with an inside playplace. It was crazy in there will all the other kids who were stir crazy from being inside. But Michael is so fearless he didn't care and with the help of another kid, went right up the stairs and into the tubes.

Friday the weather finally broke and we made it to the zoo. Michael liked the elephants best. All the other animals he wasn't that interested in.

I wish I had pictures of our trip but I forgot my camera. Hopefully Joe and Mom will get me some of theirs soon.

Up to New Jersey

Today Michael and I drove to Berlin to see Gram and Pop Pop. We had so much fun watching the Eagles game and ate Scott's pizza. Michael had a blast playing chase with Aunt Lisa under the kitchen table and playing with the truck Uncle Greg bought him.

Up, up and away

Michael and I had to get up very early to catch our flight because it was at 7:30am. Michael was an angel on the flight and slept for half of it. Momma and Seedo met us at the airport and took us to their house. After some lunch we did some shopping then headed back to the house for dinner.

That night didn't go as well. Michael didn't go to sleep until 11pm and then was up for two hours at 12, then up again at six and finally up for the day at 8:30.

Cranky, cranky

Here's my cranky baby. He was watching Jack's Big Music Show on Noggin when I took this picture. It's one of his favorites. You can also see his taggie which he takes everywhere with him as of this week. He has become really attached to it .
