Merry Christmas!

This Christmas was so much fun! Although Michael still has no clue what Christmas is about, he's really getting into unwrapping his presents. It was cute watching his reactions to gifts and how much fun he had playing with them! I can only imagine how much fun holidays will become as our babies get older an we start our own holiday traditions!

Hello Santa!

Michael and I met up with Anthony in SLO to visit Santa! He hated it, even when we held him. Last year he was so little we were able to get a good picture of him on Santa's lap, but this year I was lucky to get a shot of him at all. Poor boy, his parents insisted on torturing him for a silly picture! At least he had a good time on the carousel with his dada afterward!

Michael Bear is 16 months!!

Here are some of the things our big 16 month old boy can do:

•can say mama, dada, papa, ice, baba, ba (balloon), deen-tee (binky), and ball.

• puts both hands up when he can't find something.

• copies mama when searches the house and tries to repeat "binky, where are you?"

• signs: milk, all done, food, and more.

• points to when asked: his hands, nose, tongue, teeth, tummy, eyes, hair, ears, and legs.

• just had his 3rd hair cut!

• can throw and kick

Date Night!

Anthony and I went to his annual company holiday party at the Madonna Inn. Dinner was so good and so was the dancing! I danced as much as my pregnant feet could take my heels! Lol!

Christmas Parade

It was waaay too cold to be outside, but we couldn't miss our first Christmas Parade in Paso! It was much smaller than we are used to in Fresno where everything is on a grand scale but there was something so cute about this little parade! Everyone seems to know each other in this town and best of all, we had front row seats and we showed up when the parade started!

Atascadero Zoo

We went to the little zoo in Atascadero today with the Shepards. Michael loved the animals! The last two times I took him to the zoo he was either sleeping or unimpressed by the animals. This time he was memorized by them and we had to peel him away from exhibits so we could move on to the next one. He was pointing the entire time at all of the different animals he saw!
