Fun in the tub

Hi there everyone!!! Mikey REALLY loves his bath time now. He crawls into the bathroom faster than lightning when he hears you turn on the water! I think he just likes to splash mommy!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!

Hi There! Sorry that I'm always a couple of days late with the holiday pics...I'm trying to catch up on some homework that I didn't do while my fam was in town.

From the left: Me, Michael, Mikey,

my sis Tracy, bro-in-law Mike, and nephew AJ, other bro-in-law Eric, and sis Amanda.

Play time!

Mikey and his cousin AJ got to play together a lot over Thanksgiving. They were pretty good considering they wanted whatever the other one was playing with. No fighting or crying, they just kept taking things away from each other. It was pretty funny actually!

What's pumpkin pie without whipped cream?

Doesn't my little punkin' look scrumptious?!

Mmmmmmm....whipped cream!

Ok, maybe I'm a bad mother, but this was fun...he needed a bath anyway...lol

Thanksgiving Dinner

Mikey got to try just about everything we had for dinner. He likes it all, so it wasn't any trouble getting him to try some new things!!

Bouncing baby boy

Can you believe this cute little boy is 11 months old??? It feels like just yesterday I was complaining about being sick of being pregnant, now my cutie is almost a year old!!! Time sure does fly with this little guy around!!!

My Angel, all ready for bed.

What a face~!...he hates being in the play pen, but I need a break here and there!!

Mikey LOVES this cute walking toy!!!

Happy Halloween!

my little "squirt" and I went trick-or-treating tonight. Just for a little while though, it's not like he can eat any of the candy he got, but I didn't want him to miss out on his first halloween!!

Mikey, Gramma and Vinnie.

Mikey and Anthony

My god-son Anthony spent the weekend with us. He was a HUGE help and he and Mikey got a lot of playtime together!

Chicken and rice anyone?

Mikey kept grabbing for his bowl. Usually I don't want to deal with the mess this creates, but I figured he's got to learn to feed himself sometime. This was after we took a few bites with the spoon and threw it on the floor.

Licking the bowl...he had to get all of the rice!!!

Rice Dinner

I let Mikey have his bowl when dinner was almost done...I thought this was pretty cute!!! He sounds like he's answering Gramma, but it's just baby talk...still, I had a hard time keeping the camera still when I started laughing!

Thursday at Debbie's

Mikey had a blast at Debbie's house on Thursday...he has LOTS of toys to play with there and he enjoys every minute!!!

I was trying to get a picture of Mikey sitting in my big office chair...because he holds on to the arms and it's cute. However, when he sees the computer, specifically the keyboard, he just won't sit still!

Ok, so I thought he was supposed to play IN the jumperoo...Mikey has a different idea though!

Playing with Bailey

Actually, Mikey wants to chew on Baileys toy, but that's just gross, so I took it away right after I took the picture!

This picture, taken by Matt Ersing, is for all of the people that keep asking me why I jump out of "perfectly good" airplanes...you don't get to see a sunset like this from the ground!!!

Houseboy Hypoxic Homecoming weekend...

Houseboy was back last weekend with the caravan from Sky's the Limit, so we had to welcome him back in style.....which means we made really bad homemade t-shirts. Of course, Mikey had to be in on the action.

The theme was Houseboy's Hypoxic Homecoming...we'll do anything to get a little extra altitude!

DZ baby

My friend Matt had some fun taking pictures of Mikey at the drop zone. As you can see, there have been some safety modifications made to the jumper...cut away, and reserve handles had to be added, and he's got his own toggles for proper steering capabilities.

Mikey and his 2nd cousin Amelia playing on Daddy's bear.

my little flirt

Another one from August, but as you can see, Mikey is having fun using whatever he can to stand up!

This picture is a little old, but it's cute!

Hi there!

Fun, fun, fun in the jumperoo.

Hi Aunt Elsie!

Here's Mikey with his Great-Aunt Elsie. She and her daughter Nikki are regular visitors as they live right around the corner.

Dancing with Mommy

OK, so it's been a little while since my last post...I'm sorry.

Well, here's my angel taking a break in his hectic life to have a dance with mom after his bath. As you can see, he's "singing" to me as well.

my cute camo baby!

Daddy's bear skin rug

Mike finally got his bear skin rug back from the taxidermist. He got the bear last June in Canada. Mikey thought it was great!

My silly boy...

Someone learned how to stand up in his crib...this was taken at 11:30 pm when I went into his room to put something away...bedtime sure isn't what it used to be!!! Now he can stand up and look for you while he cries. The good thing is that he usually understands after the 2nd or 3rd time you lay him down that we mean business!

Here's Mikey with Debbie's son, Peter.

Here's Mikey relaxing in the pool. Debbie had him out at her cottage at Lime Lake and took him for a nice dip in the pool...he loves playing in the water!

Look what a cute birthday gift Mommy got!! My b-day was last week...Mikey is definetly my favorite gift!!

After my bath too!!! What is this world coming to that a sweet little boy has to put up with strange parents?

Well, if you can't beat em', join em'!!!

All I want is some playtime and I have to sit here and take this abuse!

Mohawk time!!!

Look what my CRAZY mother did to me!

Bath Time!!

What is mommy doing???

In loving memory

My Grammy, Mikey's great-Gramma, passed away this weekend.

I'm so glad that she got to meet my sweet baby boy, and my sisters sweet babies too.

Grammy was 79, had 10 children, 32 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great grandchildren.

Love you Grammy.
