Rebecca's Blog

I still call him my baby, but the reality is that “my baby” is growing up rather quickly.  Just a few months away from being two, Michael is a little tike full of energy and joy.  He is always on the go, always exploring and always loving.

As I was looking through pictures of this little bundle of joy, I was saddened to see how few I have actually taken of him since he was born.  Unfortunately, picture taking slows exponentially after each child is born.  Being number 5 in the line-up, we’re lucky if we take pictures more than once or twice a month.

That being said, I did manage to find a few gems taken early this year that I managed to gloss over during my rush to get caught up on my blog.  Take a look!

First Haircut – 1/9/2011

With Michael being only 18 months old, his first haircut was a bit of a trick.

I think we managed to get it looking fairly decent though.

Oranges – 1/20/2011

Michael loves, loves, LOVES fruit.  He will literally eat it all day long if I let him.  I’ve had to put a lock on the fridge so that we would stop getting into the fridge and grabbing out whatever delicious fruitiness he could find.  One of Michael’s favorites is the orange because, not only does it have juicy goodness, but you can play with it too!

Dirt – 2/21/2011

Michael has discovered the backyard this year and will spend all day in it.  In fact, playing in the backyard is one of the ways to get him to stop eating.  (This kid is seriously a garbage disposal!)  Anyway, here he is playing in the dirt Ryan brought in to expand the garden.  He’s definitely unafraid of getting dirty!
