Exhausted by the blog!

Sadly, we are moving away from the blog... it's too hard to upload photos. Instead, we're using Phanfare. You can find us online at http://lynott.phanfare.com.

Love,
Jennifer, Doug, and Michael

Holiday Party at the Shoe

Michael and his friends in the Sandals/Scuffs' room at The Children in the Shoe enjoyed their holiday party yesterday. Here are some great pictures, taken by Gwen.

Trucks and Cars from Yiayia and Papou

Michael received a GREAT gift from Yiayia and Papou--a little box filled with wooden tucks, cars, and buses. They are his new favorite toy!

All lined up and lovely

Kiss for the bus!

Michael is learning more and more words every day. He is regularly using 2-word constructions now and just this week started using the possessive: "Mommy's orange", "Michael's truck". It's adorable. He likes to "count" to 10. He leaves out several numbers but manages to get a few in a row correct. He counts one-two as we walk down the stairs. It's adorable. He's also learning his colors. At first everything was "yellow". Now he's starting to discriminate before answering. And sometimes he even gets it right--especially if it's blue or green.

He was 25th% for weight, 50th% for height and 75th% for head circumference at his last checkup--which was Monday. The doc said he's looking good.

He still loves "Coco" (cookie monster) but now is also very into Oscar the Grouch. We have to bang on EVERY. TRASH CAN. to see if Oscar might be inside!

He's saying Ben's name (the dog). He likes to say "BIG BEN!" He also likes to say that Yiayia is on the phone (when he picks up the phone and pretends to talk).

His sense of humor is really coming out too. He loves to "surprise" us with "boo!"
