Merry Christmas...

from Mikey D.

Mikey is 3 months old!

Mikey is officially 3 months old today. The time is flying by so fast and we can't believe how much he changes everyday! Mikey is more alert and "talking" more than ever...this past week he has started this sort of happy screaming. Its actually and ear piercing sound that only a mother can love...especially when he and daddy were doing it back and forth at each other tonight. Can anyone send me some ear plugs?!? Mikey has been a little sick the past couple weeks. He had and ear infection and bronchitis, and just as we thought he was on the mend mommy got a call from daycare Friday saying he had thrown up. So it looks like we will be heading back to the doctor tomorrow morning. All sickness aside, he has been a very happy and playful boy...it almost felt like we were playing hookie last week when he was home sick!

This is when Mikey was home sick...you can see his little ear is bent forward. It always does this when we hold him too, we may need to invest in some duct tape or it may stay that way! Its hard to get a picture of Mikey smiling. As soon as you put the camera in front of him he stops...this smirk is the closest we can get for now.
I've been testing out the bumbo chair recently. Mikey needs a little support with his head yet, but it won't be long before he is doing it all by himself. Our multi-talented little man...sitting up and playing with a rattle!
This is actually a picture of Mike Sr., I think its pretty amazing how much they look alike.

515 1/2 Franklin and Thanksgiving.

A couple weekends ago mommy was able to get together with some old college friends...her roomies from 515 1/2 Franklin Street(that place is forever embedded in my memory!!!). Here is a pic of the next UNI fans - Jace, Courtney and our little Mikey D.
Finally starting to enjoy tummy time...a little bit anyway :-)
Our first family photo over Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa C's place...also our first over nighter since the little guy has been born. I don't think we impressed anyone with our sleeping capabilities just yet...or should I say lack there of. Although Grandma was very gracious to help out at 2:30 am. Thanks grandma!

This is Mikey's new thing...the picture doesn't show it very well but is he actually licking his hand!
