Go Bananas

December 9, 2006: Cousin Michael celebrated his birthday at Go Bananas with friends and family including Alex, Jasmin, Nathan, Mikayla, Isaiah, Amy, and David.

Mikayla's 2 Months

November 25, 2006: Mikayla turned 2 months this week. She is now putting on the pounds rapidly and her cheeks are getting rounder since she is beginning to take formula. This month she celebrated her first Thanksgiving dinner. Mikayla is becoming a lot stronger now as she is able to hold her own head up. When talking to her, she will smile and try to talk back-also known as 'cooing.' Throughout the day, she takes several power naps and luckily for mom and dad she is sleeping through the night. Mikayla has also started daycare recently as mom returns to work.

Thanks Auntie Tracy, Auntie Anita, and Auntie Chris for visiting us in Arlington Heights on my birthday.
