Michael's big night out!

Our little family had a dinner date with our close friends Andrea and Ben last night! It was the first time we have taken Michael to a restaurant since he has been able to sit up on his own. He has only been out to eat 3 times since he was born and he either sat in our laps or in a stroller. Last night, that all changed :) He was able to sit up in a high chair for an hour and a half! He played with his toys, ate his apple sauce and took in all the sites and sounds of the restaurant! Esp the birthday gong (It was a Japanese place where we get sushi)!

Prior to heading to dinner, we stopped at Old Navy! Everything for infants was $5!!!!!! We stocked up on 12-18 month clothing :) Michael even picked out his own bathing suit for his upcoming Panama City Spring Break trip with Mommy, Daddy and the baseball team. He almost shoplifted the darn thing! He is always a good little shopper though. Old Navy, Target and ToysRUs are his favorites.

Over the past few weeks, Michael has been grabbing at EVERYTHING. He has always done this, since he was first born, but lately it has been aggressively! The bottle, phone and remote are his favorites. He also has a new word... Grrrr... which he says when he is grabbing his Disney Tigger. Can't wait for our first trip to The Magic Kingdom in November!

He is also feeling much better since his last visit to the doctor last Saturday. He had a little cold and double ear infection. So this is his third ear infection, the first one lasting 6 weeks. Hopefully he won't need to have his ears tubed as the doctor said it might be a possibility since he constantly has infections. Guess he got Mommy's and Uncle Ryan's bad ears! Poor thing :( But even though he gets a little sick from time to time, the kid smiles constantly! Gotta love it:)

We love and miss you all!
