I’ve been slacking off quite a bit lately with posting, so here’s a post with some pics of the boy.

Michael just turned a year old and is doing great. He’s eating us out of house and home, burning through diapers like it’s nobody’s business and growing out of his clothes faster than we can buy them.

He has 6 teeth now, an extremely fast crawler, starting to pull himself up and is curious about EVERYTHING. We will certainly be in trouble soon.

Well… we’re 8 and a half months into being parents. Plenty of money has been spent on baby gear, by our family and friends as well as by us. Some of that money has been wasted, some of it very well spent. What I want to do with this post is cover some of the stuff that has made our lives SO much easier or was well worth the money spent.

One thing we decided early on was that we would be buying (or asking for) quality baby gear that we could use for the next baby. It might cost a little more, but from a safety and long term cost perspective it’s worth it to spend a little more up front.

My biggest frustration with baby gear has been the fact that it’s constantly changing. Trying to compare items is next to impossible with what seems like a gazillion variations of each item.

On to the stuff we love…

We finally got a break in the rainy weather here in Maryland and today was beautiful, 70 degrees and sunny. Cynthia was working, so I decided that Michael and I would go have lunch and walk around the lake by Columbia Town Center. We were out for around 3 hours and he was having a ball, smiling and laughing at everyone we saw. What a great day! Time for a nap!

Went and had portraits taken today. Michael’s 7 and a half months old now. We’re not really sure exactly how much he weighs lately or how long he is, but he definitely weighs over 25 pounds now and wearing 9-12 month sized clothes.

I may be posting up a few more of the pictures later, but just wanted to get a few up for everyone’s enjoyment.

We had them taken at the Sear’s at the Columbia Town Center, the woman that took the pictures did a great job at keeping him smiling and got some pretty good shots.

Happy Easter Everyone!
