SNOW

A few weeks ago, I decided we should try to take Michael out in the snow and get some use out of his snowsuit and jacket from Jason's parents. So, while Jason was on his way home from work Michael and I worked on getting on the gear.

Michael and Mommy were both exhausted after struggling to get the gear on! Plus, Michael had difficulty moving with all the layers.

Trying to get away from Mommy!

He was more interested in the hanger than anything else.

Michael would not stand up in the snow.

So, he sat there and looked bewildered.

He could have cared less. But, we needed to break the snow suit in and get pictures, of course! Notice he never let go of the hanger. I guess it helped him feel safe or something!

Michael's 1st Valentine's Day....

...and his first Valentine!

Getting ready for the big date...styling his hair!
(Mommy styled and Michael played with a medicine dropper)

So cute!

He was asleep in Daddy's arms and just woke up!

Christmas 2008

Here are just a few pictures of Michael's First Christmas! We had a nice, relaxing day. His favorite part was the wrapping paper. Instead of getting excited to tear open the gifts, he was happy to eat the paper...yum! Hope your Christmas was as wonderful as ours!

Excited to go downstairs Christmas morning

We made blueberry muffins for Michael's Christmas breakfast - he loves them!

Slowly tearing open gifts

Playing with Aidan after Christmas dinner - Aidan was very kind in sharing his new toys with Michael!

Daddy...

...I'm an angel when you are at work!!!

Christmas Decorating

How do I climb this thing?

Let go of me so I can take this tree down!

Our first ornament from Jason's grandparents

9 months....WOW!

Michael turned 9 months old on Thanksgiving day!!! You know what this means?! Only three months until our baby is ONE YEAR! I seriously am in shock. Jason took Michael to his nine month check-up today. It went really well. We usually try to guess what his weight/height are before we go. At his six month check-up Jason was right. This time, I was right :-). Michael's pediatrician was very happy with his growth and development so far. She mentioned wanting to keep an eye on his head due to a jump in percentile. But, she said she wasn't concerned. He has Kanaly genes in him, so he's going to have a big head :-). When Jason told her that Michael is cruising (i.e. - walking with the help of furniture and Mommy/Daddy hands), she said that it won't be long before he is walking. Oh my!

length - 29 1/4" (80th percentile)
weight - 20 lbs. 5.5 ounces (50th percentile)
head - 19" (95th percentile)
