New Jams

It's cooling off at night again and so Mitch is back in footed pjs.

They are so great!

Those are huge hands - he won't need a ball glove!

Happy Birthday, Aunt Rachel!

End of Summer

Mitch keeps growing! He is now a walking man, still has long hippy hair, and is adjusting to his folks being back at work.

He is still a pretty good eater, shoving any remnants into his mouth with the back of his hand. Very gentile.

He loves to pull the petals from the flowers!

This is his walking posture - belly leading and arms in the air.

He's able to squat down to get something and then stand back up without falling. Crawling is still faster, but he's getting speedier each day.

Scientific Progress Goes Boink

Sure, it starts innocently enough, but give him time.

Soon this sweet play with Hobbes

Will become this . . .

The Honeymans Come to Visit!

Mitchell (& his parents) were lucky enough to get a visit from dear friends from CA. Auntie Anna and her honey of a hubby, Mike, came to play. Mitch really enjoyed meeting them as evidenced by the smiles below. They are both wonderful with little children and the HoneyBaby will be a lucky little one whenever it comes along . . .

Birthday Boy

Mitchell had a birthday party on Saturday. It was a lovely day with family and friends. The birthday boy was not interested in his cake at all, but enjoyed presents, and playing with the celebrants.

Mitch is lucky to have so many people in his life who love him!

One Year Old!

Mitchell turns 1 today!

It's hard to believe we've had him for a year. What a year it's been.

This kid has a definite personality. He makes his wants known, is into everything, and is almost always happy.

Here is his birthday morning photo session.

Helping get ready to bake birthday cakes!

On the cooling rack? Why not!

Kitchen Helper

Mitch was exploring his territory at his

Allstot grandparents' place this past weekend.

Up on tip toes means business!

Oh! Such delight!
