Michaelisms

Michael has found his toes, his voice and some limited mobility. Babies sucking on baby toes is probably one of my favorite things ever. It's adorable. Michael, not one to take toe-sucking lightly, usually sucks on both feet at the same time. JR has voiced some longing for even an ounce of that kind of flexibility. It's astounding. I mean...

Michael "talking" is something that makes me laugh every single time. There are some situations, like Sunday School or the High School Symphony concert we went to for one of my YW, that create talking-induced anxiety more than actual laughter. But there are still mama giggles, even if somewhat suppressed. He's been known to instigate raised voices just to carry on a conversation over his self talks. But my goodness, I wouldn't trade those sweet baby sounds for anything. I wonder what he's talking about?

Michael Blake is pretty skinny. We're trying to beef him up. I don't really know how one "beefs up" a baby. In the meantime his little chicken legs are pretty fantastic. 

Here are a few more of our favorite munchkin for your viewing pleasure...

Operation Beefing

Wiggled right out of his pants!

Being a mom rocks. This skinny little bundle of drool is so sweet and calm. He loves to play, he loves it when we sing and he really loves his bed. (Like the other night he had a minor meltdown. We rocked, we walked, we hugged, we fed, we tried everything! Put him in his bead, immediate calm. Okay, fine. I get it.) I love to kiss his perfect baby cheeks. Please, just let him be little fo'eva!
