Michael doesn't realize his picture is being taken.

Get used to this smile. We took five more pictures of him, but he made the same goofy smile everytime!

We were in Cambria for Crystal's brother Garin's wedding last weekend. Michael liked our hotel room there, as long as he had a juice supply.

Looking very grown up in his new suit. We bought it for his Uncle Garin's wedding next week.

The look of a satisfied one-and-a-half year old!

Mmmm so good!

Michael eating his cake

Michael celebrated his eighteen-month birthday with some cake. He also got a DVD player for the car, so he can watch movies from his car seat. Michael is now 36 lbs 3oz, up from 35 lbs 8oz when he was 15 months old. He is also a full three feet tall, up from 34.5 inches tall when he was 15 months old.

Yeah I got my hair cut a little

We Have Visitors

Our house (and pool) has been invaded. Lots of family drove up from Bakersfield last week. First came Crystal's sister Cheryl and her youngest daughter, Lynsie (below.) Next Crystal's mom and dad came with our nephews Devin, Tyler, and Zachary. We've had lots of fun playing in the pool, going to the movies, and playing miniature golf.
