It's been nearly a month since we posted. How utterly embarrasing!
I blame it ENTIRELY on Facebook.
More later!

It's been a long time! And to our defense, we've had a FLOOD of visitors, all of whom we adore!
Random things to nibble on about michael:
My mom taught Michael how to say "happy." Which we then taught him to say when his dad comes home because he's ecstatic to see him. He runs around and throws himself on the floor. The Kropkas call it "Going Wild," and their daughter does the same thing! Anyways, Michael now uses it all the time when he's happy. It's adorable. He'll be sitting and eating strawberries and he'll look up with a HUGE grin and say, "HAPPY!" Same with when we spend family time. He'll look at both Brian and I and say "HAPPY!" It's awesome.
Michael knows his name now. But he says it with a HUGE Texas Drawl. Like "Miiiiiiiikuuuhl". And he says his name all the time. When you try to help him with something that he wants to do all by himself, He'll say, "No, Michael, Michael." And you have to let him do what he wants with whatever.
He has taken to reading his bedtime stories by himself. He'll have his books on the floor and pick one up, open it, and say, "Michael, Michael." And he goes through and names the things on the pages and flips through it. While sitting on the floor. We are just watching.
He brushes his teeth now. But that just means he sucks on his toothbrush and sprays spittle all over the sink.
If you are an overnight guest in our house, he HAS to give you a goodnight hug and kiss before going to bed. It is obligatory.
Michael LOVES to cook. He'll pull a chair up to the counter and stand on it, waiting for instructions.
He is so happy and a joy! It's time for another....God willing!
Love,
P
