Thursday, November 23, 2006 - Smiling Michael

Things have been going great over the past few weeks. Michael is growing so fast! He's starting to look like a person now. We got him a swing, which he loves (see the picture), and he's been enjoying his crib, toys, and being read to more and more every day. About a week ago he started smiling sporadically, but on Monday, all of a sudden, he started smiling in response to us making faces and stuff. It was really incredible.

I can't believe how much my little boy is growing up in just a few weeks. This is really an exciting time and we're both cherishing every moment of it.

He does get fussy sometimes, but we've figured out a few things to do to keep him quiet. If a clean diaper, food, or entertainment doesn't seem to be the trick we've learned he's probably tired, but not sleepy. So the vacuum cleaner does the trick! Turning on the vacuum is like flipping a switch - he's out like a light. It's almost funny to watch. And when the vacuum goes off he's back on. We also found that other sources of white noise work good, too. So now I've got the radio in the car preset to 87.7. Nothing but static - who would have guessed it would be my new favorite radio station!

Anyway, there's a few more pictures and videos of Michael in the November Photo Album, too.

Saturday, November 4, 2006 - New Michael Pictures & Videos

I've uploaded a bunch of new Michael videos and pictures. There's some video of Michael's first Halloween - he was a marionette and carved pumpkins. And Michael had his very first bath on November 1st. There's some video and pictures from that exciting event. And I've added a few more pictures and videos to the Miscellaneous album (which I've renamed to October Miscellaneous because it was getting too big to hold a whole year's worth of stuff).

Michael is doing great and growing so fast. He's over two pounds heavier than when he was born and he's not even four weeks old! I think we might have a football player on our hands!
