My little Michael is 1 year, 1 month, 2 weeks and 2 days old today :) Sorry I'm so late Mooser! I can't believe how fast time went by! He now has 10 teeth with 2 more molars on their way and still refuses to do much more with them than smile at everyone! He is so close to walking, hanging onto anything, including the walls to get his balance back. When I tell him to Walka Walka, he'll get this huge smile on his face and take off... His feet go much faster than the rest of his body and he ends up falling usually after 4 steps! Every morning he has a little baby checklist that he must complete 5-6 times a day, which includes things such as getting the pots and pans out, measuring spoons and cups, dumping food off the turn table then stacking all that he can and spilling what doesn't make it that far. I've never been so entertained and frustrated at the same time! Allthough he can't say much that anyone but our family can understand - Dad, DaDa (Caden) Da (Trey) BaDa (Blankie), he can say sounds for Elephant, Monkey, Puppy and most recently Santa! He is becoming such a fun toy for me and the boys :) He laughs when we laugh, Cries when he gets the slightest bonk, Gets tears immediately when crying, Thinks the world is over if Mommy walks out of the room, Claps if anyone says Yeay, Yells the second we turn the car off thinking we're going to leave him, Hits the heads of anyone he sees sleeping if he's not, Says Ooooh, oooooh, oooooh when he get's excited, Blows when he sees steam (cause it's hot!), HAS to stick his finger in your mouth for no good reason, Chews on the crocheted corners of his blankie making the most awful squeeky sound, Thinks Mommy is his little drinking fountain, and is the cutest little Michael Moo that I know! We love the little Milk-Drinking baby so much! Happy late Birthday!!!
Caden made Michael a Birthday rattle out of an old paper towel roll and rice!

Trey and Caden were all about Halloween this year, trying on their costumes weekly since August! Our Disneyland trip made their costumes even better cause they both got to pick out guns to match. Caden was a scary, boney Jack Sparrow, Trey was a fast, crime fighting Buzz Lightyear and Michael was the cute little crawley Squirt the Turtle (from Finding Nemo). Just like last year, Trey was the leader with Caden following behind. "Trunk or Treat" Trey would yell from door to door, then Caden would politely Thank them while walking away. I'm curious what Michael will add to their routine next year!
