A cute creeper.

Looking really grown up.

He's happy to be creeping; thus the stuck-out lower lip.

When all else fails, rolling still works, too.

Michael focuses intently on a speck of lint.

Distracted by something else Mommy needs to vacuum up.

Michael's first pair of shoes!

He wants Daddy to take them off.

A prisoner of the baby gate.

Contemplating his sudden captivity.

Michael pushed himself this far backwards in a few seconds.

Oops -- backed into a corner.

Haha -- no corner can keep Michael down!

Watching cars go by while swinging.

The eternal quest continues.

Startled by the grape we slipped him.

Mommy teaches Michael about gridlock.

Waving normally with his right hand.

A silly face.

Another silly face.

Waving backwards with his left hand.

Michael looks for more books to strew.

A leisurely babble-conversation with Andrew.

Michael tried to poke ...

... Andrew's eye out, ...

... so Andrew drooled ...

... on Michael's head.

More standing.

Michael's rumpled look.

Snoozing at naptime.

Swinging (gently) with Daddy ...

... and with Mommy.

The swing has a unique point of view.

Hanging out on the couch.

Where is Michael hiding?

"Peeking" like Mommy does.

Getting a close look at the camera.

Gotta check the tech news.

Michael examines a ball.

Pappy bounces Michael.

A silly face for Pappy.

See this spoon?

It's just an ordinary spoon.

Now I'll make it disappear.

Poof! Here it is again!

Grandma and Michael play with the train.

Family at church after Michael's dedication.

Daddy, Mommy, and Michael.

Restaurants have spoons, too!

Silly time with Daddy.

Michael and Daddy counter-surfing.

Being a counter terrorist. (Har har.) :)

Using thumbs to investigate the tractor.

... in the effects of static electricity.

After the Virginia presidential primary.

A budding dentist?

Standing at his music table.

Ten months old.

Just lounging.

Michael drives around town.

Posing in his walker.

Waking up from a nap in his crib!!

Standing is so much fun!

Barbara happily teaches Michael ...

... how to wave hello.

So close to crawling!

This is Michael's version of a hug.

Michael thinks Daddy is awesome ...

... and so is his nose.

Time for some reading!

Choosing a book to chew on.

Michael loves to roll (so we're always ready to catch him!).

Something interesting is just over the edge of the couch.

Michael happily demonstrates ...

... some more of his new ...

... sippy-cup prowess.

Standy McStands-a-lot.

Michael with his Tower of Bababa.

Peeking through the bars of his cage.

A pointed look at Mommy.

Michael is all about wiggling his tongue now.

He also just likes to hang out ...

... with his lower lip sticking out.

Waggling his tongue means he's happy.
