One more huge thing. Michael took 2 naps today. Each nap was 1.5 hours EACH. AMAZING.
The boy NEVER sleeps more than 40 minutes at a time. Most naps are only 30 minutes long.
The first nap was great. I got a ton of stuff done, answered e-mails, got ready for the day, put on makeup, and prepped dinner. THe 2nd nap I couldn't take advantage of because I was at French. My nanny got to enjoy that one! She too was surprised.

By Crawling...I don't mean really crawling.
Michael has mastered the body drag with his arms.
And he can propel himself forward using his legs.
He can balance himself on his all fours and rock back and forth but not move forward yet.
And he can move his arms and legs together like he's crawling but then he's not on his all fours, he is on his stomach.
And his left leg definitely does the right movements but he just drags his right leg along with (no surprise there..this kid is most likely going to be left handed).
So he's ALMOST to crawling. Just needs to put it all together. Right now, he can get to practically everything!

If I could wrap a Swiffer cleaning cloth around Michael, my floors would be SPOTLESS. The boy is CRAZY.
Today, he bit my arm and left teeth marks.
He doesn't like to be carried around anymore. Instead, he wants to be held standing or crawling around on his own. It is better on my arms, but now, I follow him around and keep him out of things! We are BEHIND with the baby-proofing so I have to watch Michael a LOT.
Today, Michael discovered echoes. I held him at his bedroom window which faces the courtyard and he yelled and looked surprised and kept yelling/talking and would wait to hear what it would sound like and smile. Like that run on sentence? I do!
Michael can officially climb over my legs to get to a toy/remote control/book.
Michael LOVES to turn the pages in his books by himself. Unfortunately Runaway Bunny should have been a board book because it is a bit of a mess now. I will post pics of it later.
