Can't Wait

We had a great time in Seattle with the family. We had to find a different babysitter at the last minute as in 6 hours before we left. Kyle's cousin is a saint and agreed to take Michael for the night. She said he was an angel, and didn't cry or fuss once. That's my boy! I don't think he knew I left. I on the other hand, shed a tear, and couldn't wait to get back.

I CANNOT wait to leave tomorrow. I can't believe I'll be in Utah with absolutely nothing to do, but visit friends and family, go to a couple BYU football games and eat at my favorite restaurants. I wonder if I'll sleep tonight. The only thing that makes me not excited is my sister called to let me know they caught two mice at their house today, and I'll be sleeping on a mat on the floor. I wonder if I'll sleep next week. I might just crawl in the pack n' play with Michael.

Michael is starting to walk. He's taken two steps, and I'm afraid he'll start walking while Kyle is in North Carolina. The past two weeks he's started to grind his teeth. Nothing drives me more nuts. I think he knows it too.

We can't get him to sit still for anything. So in order to clip his nails, we have to do it while he's asleep.

This might be my favorite picture of him. I feel like he's saying. "Mom, leave me alone, I just woke up and I'm trying to watch the Today Show." Don't let him fool you. Two seconds later, he was up and at 'em.
This is a classic Michael face. Actually this is what he looks like when he's about to bite me.
