Happy Easter

Easter 2009 was fabulous. Easter Sunday was celebrated by waking up late and taking our time getting to church. At church, which we attend weekly, Dan Michael sings like a bird. Every Sunday he puts on a show for the other attendees and keeps everyone snickering. Its so funny and amusing. After church we headed to Uncle Brother's house to see Granny B, Jess, Layla Grace and Micah. There we took some fun pictures of all the little ones together. Dan Michael also got to spend time playing with his 2 month older cousin Micah. They were so funny playing together, whatever Dan Michael wanted to play with Micah insisted on having. Micah even went as far as tackling Dan Michael so he couldn't play at his table. So FUNNY! After that, we headed to the Fitzpatrick family. There Dan Michael got to spend time with Grandma, Grandpa and also GG. He was a bit tired so he ended up napping most of the time. We ended Easter with a visit to Uncle Pat and Aunt Kathy's house. There Dan Michael enjoyed delicious potato salad. He eats anything we give him. It was quite a long day for us all but a memorable one!

It's never too early to learn sharing.

Getting So Big So Fast!

Our baby boy is growing up way too fast. Yes, I love every minute of it but I just wish I could slow it down a bit. I feel like since he started crawling that its now one thing after another. Dan Michael is quite a character. He's very silly always laughing. He's also beginning to mimic sounds and motions that I do. For example, when I clap for him he slaps his leg to make to the same sound. Another example is when I was giving him kisses this morning he started make kiss sound back at me. So stinking CUTE!

Dan Michael is a man on the go. He's got the crawling down and his now taking on cruising. Yes, I think he's very brave. After the number of falls he's experienced he has no fear of pulling himself up and letting go.

Guess what else? Dan Michael has two of his top teeth coming in! Soon enough he will have a full grill. With new teeth comes table food. We have given him grits, eggs, french fries, and I even gave him some ice cream the other night. He's loved it all. I'm not sure if he's going to turn any food away. He still eats his baby food and he still loves his Graduates but table food is a treat to him.

With Dan Michael crawling and growing more curious we have started to have to discipline. What I mean by that is the word "NO." I wasn't sure if I was starting to soon but I've been advised its the right thing to do. He likes to get into the bathroom and play with the toilet, hehee. So, we tell him "NO" and then move him to another room. I'm not sure if he understands yet, but he doesn't put up a fuss about it. I'll keep you posted b/c I think in time when we say "NO" he's going to have a fit.

I think that's it for now.
