After some threats to her...she finally posted them =)<br /><br />Anyway...Michael is walking...he walks walks walks walks walks, plops down, gets up, and walks walks walks again, then plops, and so forth. He loves walking...as Lisa put it "He might look like Frankenstein, but he's walking!!!" :)<br /><br />Here's some photos from the birthday party which went SO well!

Teeth! And not just one, but a whole bunch!! I feel one on the bottom and one on the top, and I'm pretty sure another on the bottom.<br />No pictures, of course. But soon enough!<br /><br />We also took Michael on his first park trip!! He seemed to enjoy the swing, but not so much the slide....I guess he didn't like sliding with Mommy! Oh well, next year will be fun.<br /><br />Okay, gotta go take care of the military crawlin' baby!Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06281472781177292636noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651995941650099152.post-24901821346147118782009-07-30T21:01:00.013-04:002009-07-30T21:25:12.993-04:00Surprise<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMidBwn6zbzTlCcFQ2QUIzdf_o1P0t1zdYx0eu7NuW1zzpdzIinnmzcc4YyxfxzR2gvt5iDKyXhrgXYwWoaFIK5xwcgmk_Q8qe3hvaI8_T941jKhMw1SiRuxI20_k2laLjE9mfiz-xfz1l/s1600-h/IMG_1079.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px;

So, now I cannot use my camera PERIOD!<br />I think I will return my camera and get a new one because Michael is growing more and more each day and no one is seeing it but DJ and I!!!!!!Oh, and of course Michael's best friend, Dolce.<br /><br />Anyway, in Michael news. He's standing!!!! Not on his own yet, but sure has the guts to try!<br />He actually pulled himself all the way up to standing position last night while sitting.<br />Has not mastered the crawl yet, but I think his "military crawl" is as far as he's gonna get. Just imagine a little chunky baby military crawling across the living room floor, quite entertaining =)<br /><br />Last appointment he weighed 19lbs, still don't believe it!!!<br />All is healthy minus his diaper rash=(<br />But we have cream for him now which seems to be working every now and then, we have another Dr. appointment tomorrow so we'll see what she thinks.<br /><br />He's blurting out Mama, baba, and Da here and there along with Buvvvv. You've gotta hear it to understand it.<br />Still loves television remotes, Daddy's Playstation controller, and every little paper under the coffee table....anything that <em>isn't</em> his to play with.<br />Might I add how much he <strong>LOVES </strong>Dolce?!<br />Poor Dolce yelps when he tugs to hard at her eyes...which brings me to Michael's next favorite thing to do...<strong>PINCHING!</strong> God that child has quite the grip. You've gotta see our arms and face and everywhere else he grabs...we're all bruised!!!!!<br /><br />Aside from him pinching, he is a darling little angel.<br />Hopefully I will have new pictures up soon!!!!!!Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06281472781177292636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2651995941650099152.post-78459864490049152572009-06-07T19:23:00.001-04:002009-06-07T19:23:35.318-04:00Really, really late updating.<p> </p> <p>Michael is now almost 8 months old and has completely changed.  Sorry for such a late update, we've just been so busy and have<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkY1_h1i5KrZAeHLAGnJe2kW7hWWRXnY06KzBUMrnAgbcxTy_uU8pz5lBd9IC4l3R1PWJuSLwWUiWBa2iWTihib3M0k-dUyMNX8bx1nZulSPgf01uRlyVUkbr4gepzABdeQGW8UwRAeUTK/"><img style="border-right: 0px;

Baby Michael has finally arrived-a week early which is fine by me (This last month of being pregnant has been miserable). He was 6 lbs. 8 oz. at 19 1/2 inches long..not too bad since they thought he'd be a tiny little baby. Let me tell you he didn't feel like a tiny little one!! I went completely natural with no drugs!! I also had no tears or stitches! I was accompanied by DJ and my sister Regina in the delivery room; yes Regina got her wish to be in with me. It took about an hour or so to deliver and out came Michael James at 1:04 a.m. on October 27th. <br /><br />Here's the labor story. I started feeling super back pain as well as leg cramps late Saturday night that kept me up pretty much the whole night. I woke up around 9:30 Sunday and went downstairs to my pregnancy photo shoot(perfect timing huh?) Around 10 I began to feel little mini contractions which I thought were just those Braxton-Hicks. I told Gina about it and we began to wonder if today was the day. After a few more hours of going through the mini contractions, DJ and I decided to go for a walk to see if it would speed things up or if it was just a false alarm. After a mile-long walk around Cooperstown, we returned home around 7 pm that night. My contractions had dwindled down by then so I assumed it was just false labor. Boy was I wrong.<br /><br />At around 9 p.m. they started up again. This time they were more intense and closer together. By then I knew I was going to go to the hospital that night. I decided to count my contractions which seemed to be irregular so I figured I still had some time. I got into the shower for the 3rd time that day around 10 pm. Regina gave me the birth ball to sit on which probably wasn't such a good idea being my bathroom was going to fall through the ceiling at any moment! But that's a whole different story now. Anyway, I called the Birthing Center and informed them of my contractions. They told me I'm in early labor and still had a few hours yet, so stay at home as long as I could. That lasted only so long. I think it was around 11 pm when I decided we needed to go! My contractions were really painful now that I was on all fours trying to relieve them. <br /><br />It was around 11:30 when we arrived(Correct me if I'm wrong Regina). They put me in a gown and put the belly wrap on me(super uncomfortable) and off to the room I went to get checked. They put me in the room where patients are just checked to see if they're even dilated or not. Guess who was 9 cm? Yep, I was ready.<br /><br />I wanted to use the tub but the mid-wife wouldn't let me because I was ready to pop. Good thing I got the shower at home! The last few moments of being pregnant were rough. I screamed out that I wanted drugs a few times, but my coaches, Dj and Regina were there to help me through the painful pushes! 1:04 arrived, and so did Michael! <br /><br />I'd give pics but it looks like Gina already did the honors!
