There is absolutely NO TIME to post anymore! I am following Michael around making sure he doesn't hurt himself and even then, he STILL does! And then there's the 6-8 hours of French homework I have a week, which doesn't even include time to really study and let it sink in. That's just the HOMEWORK part! And don't even get me started on cooking dinner, cleaning, and keeping up with my other "yummy mummy" friends here!

Anyways, here are some highlights/lowlights to catchup in the last couple of weeks. Again, my deepest apologies for not keeping up with my end of my promise:

Highlights
  • Michael said "Daddy" and "Dadda" for the first time.
  • He started to army crawl...
  • Then he started to really crawl.
  • And now he is doing a bit of both. Whatever gets him where he wants to go the fastest
  • He discovered how doors work and shut our kitchen door.
  • When Shravi came and then went to the bathroom, she shut the door behind her. Michael crawled over there and yelled at her until she opened it back up.
  • He started pulling up this past Sunday so now he's even crazier than before.

Lowlights

  • Michael has NOT said "Mommy" or "Mama" yet. :o(
  • Michael bites your shoulder/arm sometimes when you're holding him.
  • Michael has fallen off the couch twice. Each time, either Brian or I were there and we still don't catch him in time. Yesterday, he fell head first onto the floor. EEK. The distance was less than his height, onto the rug, and there is no swollen fontanelle and he's normal (knock on wood) so we hope he's ok. ;o)
  • Brian turned on the water for Michael to play with during his bath, but we have TERRIBLE temperature regulation on our water and Michael burned his hand a bit and cried.
  • It's sales season in Paris and Mommy drags him all over the stores.

I think that's it! 9 month checkup in the coming weeks before heading off to Munich/Bonn. I doubt he's gained weight because he hasn't outgrown his clothes or his diapers...but he's eating well and developing so I'm not gonna stress out about it.

Love to all,
P

P.S. I updated our pictures in our album FINALLY. Only a month and a half late. AND I haven't done ANY scrapbooking! How am I gonna remember his childhoood??!?!
