Watch This!

It's high time for a Michael update. In the past few weeks he's really figured out his hands. He loves to play, intentionally, with toys. He's also figured out that the purpose of hands is to put toys into his mouth and the purpose of toys is tasting. His favorite toy is his "holey" ball- he does an amazing job of stuffing his entire chin into one of the holes as he gums it (I'll have to get a picture of that act soon.) He also loves the exersaucer, which is nice for the grown-ups :)

In other news we got out the booster chair for the table. He can sit up well enough to be in it and really just wants to be right at the table with us. Tada!

He can sit up well enough for the chair... actually, he can sit up! Only for a few seconds, but that's impressive for a guy his age. Here's a picture, and a quick video of the falling over part- because it totally amuses me the way he does some serious crunches the whole way down and goes in somewhat slow motion, and also the huge grin he's got on his face the whole time.

He rolled over last Friday, so I'm sure that'll be a regular thing soon. And sleep... well, just let's not talk about that. The big battle is coming as soon as we return from our Thanksgiving travels. We'll be heading off to Ocean City next week to be thankful... Scott is most thankful for everything in the food category, and Blaise continually says "My 2 whole families," in reference to the pictures we have on our mantle of each of our "whole families" (aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents included.)
