I figured it out! Thanks Robyn for showing me how to add that badge of photos on the blog! (See the new square of pictures on the right hand side of the page)

Michael and I were at Target by 8:30 this morning! Quite early for us, usually we're just getting breakfast around that time and I'm definitely NOT ready to show myself to the world! But, today Michael woke up early and I had errands to run. I figured I should do them while he was in a good mood! I had forgotten how nice it is to shop that early ... no one is in the store! It's great! We went grocery shopping too and Michael had fun talking to the produce guys and giving them his big cheesy smile where he wrinkles his nose and shows them his teeth. Once we got home, he took a nap ... running errands wore him out I guess.

We were having some fun with the camera today! Michael cracks up when he sees the camera come out.

Our day consisted of meeting a friend for lunch at the mall. Michael went to bed late last night, so it was good to have a slow day so he could get a good nap in this morning. We had fun at the mall... Michael likes to "people watch" there. It was nice to catch up with a friend of mine from work too. We were saying our goodbyes when some guy came up to us and practically joined our conversation. It was really weird. Then he says " I wish I had a baby". I'm thinking "you're not getting this one though!" He just stared at Michael, asked Cecilia why she doesn't have a baby and then walked over to his friends and walked away. Ahh, the people you run into on the K Street mall! Fortunately, my paranoia of him taking my son away because he "wishes he had a baby" were just that, me being paranoid!

Michael has now figured out how to open and close his door to his bedroom. By open, I mean when he doesn't shut his door all the way he can then open it back up. It's when he shuts it all the way that he stands on the other side of the door and calls me. I'll bet it will be fun when he can reach the door knob ... open, close, open, close, open, close ..... oh joy!

Okay, Okay, I've given into this "blogging" thing and I'm giving it a try! It seems to be an easy way to share our Michael (AKA "Bubba") pictures and little stories I call my mom with almost every night. I will try to keep this updated every few days, hoping that I won't have to remember to email a bunch of pictures to everyone when I think it's been a while.

Tonight's Bubba story goes like this:

I'm standing in the kitchen, cleaning up. Michael is sitting in his Daddy's lap playing with him on the couch. He sees me grab one of his bottles and he points to it and says his typical "uh". "uh, uh, uh". I said to him, "I've already made your bottle to go night night, it's in your bedroom for when Daddy puts you to bed." He immediately gets up off of Tony's lap and starts walking down the hall to his room. Tony and I looked at each other as if to say "he couldn't have understood all of that!" Michael stopped half way down the hall and turned to look at Tony, and said "uh" again. (yes, that's pretty much his favorite word right now even though he can say "all done", "mom", "dad", and others) He proceeds to turn back around and head into his bedroom and walks around in there for a few seconds. Then he stops at the rocking chair and giggles and points up to his dresser ... where the bottle is! He stands there pointing and laughing/giggling and bouncing up and down so excited that he has found his bottle. So ... off to bed he went ... happy because he found his bottle.
