February Already?

Goodbye January, Hello February! These last few weeks have been flying bye! I guess that is a good thing when we are very much anticipating our upcoming trips! We are off to Hawaii in March and South Carolina in June- Yeah! I can't wait to get Bear in the water! Geoff and I started taking Michael to swim lessons about 2 weeks ago- the boy loves the water! His favorite thing to do is hang on the wall and climb out, yes, the boy can lift his body out and sit up on the ledge- he then wants to scoot off the wall, back into the water, but it gives me some comfort that he can hold his weight up on the wall:) He is definitely a little monkey these day, climbing on EVERYTHING! The fireplace, the coffee table, exersaucer (which we used as a blocker), the couch, over the couch, chairs, you name it, he attempts to climb it! So far, no trips to the ER this year, but I know its coming, if he is anything like his father:)
Geoff celebrated his 38th Birthday this year! We had a great time out with friends- We are so thankful to have such great friends!

So far, we have been ear infection free, well, we had a minor one but the pediatrician said it was due to an infection when the tubes were put in. Michael is talking up a storm! Not really making sense to us, but he sure thinks he has some profound things to say! I just love watching him grow up and take everything in! He is definitely not a baby anymore:( He is a BIG boy! His new word is "mine". We officially have a toddler!
