Story time!
Michael has been really into books lately.
It's fun because he will actually try to listen to a story and look at the pictures now, instead of just trying to eat the book. He'll even help turn the pages, until he gets bored.
Sandra Boynton is a children's author who, based on the sheer volume of her merchandise for sale at Borders, must be a bazillionaire. I would not be sad at all if my life had led me to be a wildly popular children's book author/illustrator. Nope, I wouldn't mind that one bit. I'm still young, right? It could happen. I've got to say, her books are great. Michael loves them, too. Here is a video of me reading "Green Hat, Blue Hat" to him. The premise is simple... characters wearing different colored hats/shirts/pants, and then a character wearing the article of clothing incorrectly (i.e. pants on top of his head, or something like that). Michael must really understand the complex humor involving pattern recognition, knowledge of how to dress correctly, and the funniness that comes from wearing pants on your head.
Or, he just likes to hear Mommy say OOPS! Clearly, this is the funniest thing Michael has ever seen or heard.
He starts coughing at the end, and the video cuts off.
OOPS!

9 Months Old
I'm a couple weeks late, but Michael is 9 months old now. He weighed 17 1/2 lbs at his last checkup! He is growing so fast!
I put Daddy in charge of taking the 9 month pictures. Michael was not very interested...
Sitting in his chair was way more fun.
Making a mess while eating dinner was REALLY fun.
I got some new toys. Just because Mommy and Daddy and Grandma love me. This is me watching Daddy put my Lion together.
Here I am facing off against the big blue ball.
Still chasing the ball. You'll notice my diaper looks like blue jeans. Cutest thing ever.
Finally, here I am with my new Lion Walker. I'm pretty good at it. I'm not quite walking yet, but at this rate, it will be any day now!

Playmates!
Michael had a pretty busy week! He went to the park with Mommy and Grandma. And then,not one, but TWO of his friends came over for a visit. Here are some pictures of the fun.
Michael's first rock climbing wall. (A major milestone, don't you think?) (P.S. Thanks, photographer, for making me look like Cousin It.)
Taking a break to smile for the camera.
Now I'm king of the mountain!
Michael comes over to investigate Addie.
Hello, Pretty Girl!
Addie lets Michael share her cup.
Oh, Brother!
Okay, that's enough!
Then Matthew came over to play. Matthew was a little suspicious of this Michael character at first.
Probably because Michael kept trying to eat his hand. Matthew was not amused.
They had a really fun time together!
And by the end they were basically BFF.
Now it's time to quiet down some, so Grandma reads a story.
What a great week!
