Reading takes concentration.

Happy to be at Andrew's party.

Admiring a car-adorned shirt.

Andrew sports an Elmo ensemble.

Michael points out "Nah-doo."

Andrew is hard to catch at rest.

Michael toddled around all evening ...

... as if he were on a perp walk.

An accidental head-over-heels tumble ...

... didn't leave any hard feelings.

It's fun to see them actually playing together.

Does Andrew have drums in his future?

Andrew checks out his cake.

Wondering if there's more.

The end state of things.

Guess who brought Andrew all the cars.

Michael found his own special toy.

We ran outside to see this ...

... and got caught in a shower.

Granddad had the sense to stay dry.

Daddy and Michael admire the colors.

Now who's the big one, eh Pooh Bear?

Michael loves Pooh Bear.

In his alphabet soup.

G is for "Go!"

Michael shows his current favorite letter, R.

Mommy's fine creation ...

... doesn't last for long ...

... when Michael is around.

Taking his doggie for a ride.

A great thing about being a mom ...

... is the sweet nose kisses.

Michael's first haircut, by Sarah.

Pre-haircut fuzzhead.

Post-haircut, curl-less big boy.

A hug from Michael is a good way to wake up from a nap ...

... unless Michael is ready to fall asleep himself.

Pointing out his "na zha" (new shoes).

Michael's own version of peek-a-boo ...

... with the living-room curtains.

His response to "Do something silly."

Michael puts Grammy through ...

... a vigorous walk workout.
