Apparently, I ask Michael where things are alot and stick my hands out when I do. Everytime I say, "Where is _______?" Michael does this:


Michael enjoys playing in his ball pit. He "dives" in and out.


Michael loves to put things on his head (blanket, scarf, kitchen towel) and walk around and giggle. This occurs numerous times a day!



Michael is now beginning to master the art of climbing...onto chairs, sofas, ottomans, steps. He is so proud of himself. This was first discovered while Mommy was out shopping and Daddy looked up and saw Michael on top of the ottoman jumping!


It can be confusing having one parent that is a Longhorn and the other a Baylor Bear...

And then there are some less confusing days...like the day Baylor beat Washington at the Alamo Bowl in the most amazing football game EVER!


Michael loves to go on family bike rides.

He rides in style...


Michael was not a fan of Santa Claus up close and personal this year. We went to visit Santa twice and then Santa came to visit us at our Sunday School Christmas party. Michael screamed when we put him in Santa's lap. On our third attempt, Michael saw him across the room and as I walked closer he held me tight and said, "No, No, No!" Therefore, we have no picture with Michael and Santa this year, and that is OK! I love that Santa came to our Christmas party and read to the children from the Bible, the story of what Christmas is all about...JESUS, not Santa! Way to go Santa!

Listening to Santa tell the Christmas story...from a safe distance in the comfort of Daddy's lap!


I made a few Color Discovery Bottles to help with learning colors. Fun!
