Sneezing is hilarious!

In October, Michael got a cold - and gave it to me (we're learning to share). Needless to say, I sneezed a lot. One morning on the way to the babysitter's, I sneezed four or five times in a row. Michael has always thought sneezes (and hiccups) are funny, but he found a bunch in a row especially hilarious. When he was done laughing, he said, "Ah, ah, ah, ah, choo!" Now he loves sneezing and laughing at himself. Every once in a while he says "bessoo" (his cute little version of "Bless You").

Lions, and Tigers, and Bears - Oh, My!

We decided to start a new tradition - family Halloween costumes! Well, I guess it's actually re-instating an old tradition. Dave and I haven't dressed up in the same theme for years. This year, because we found such a cute lion costume, we decided to go with "Wizard of Oz."

He looks like he's up to something, doesn't he?

He had a lot of fun with his costume. He'd walk and/or crawl around for a while, then stop and clap his hands together. He thought the mittens were a great toy. And he just loved smiling at himself in the mirror when he was he wearing the hood. A couple times we put the hood on, draped the costume over his back, and chased Sandy around. He thought that was the best thing since learning to fake sneeze!

It's Picture Time!

Yes, I know I've been negligent in posting - but better late than never, right? Here are some adorable pictures we had taken on Michael's 1st Birthday. Our little baby is turning into a little boy - and still the cutest ever!

He's ready to go fishing with daddy and grandpa!

What a little heartbreaker!
