All ready to become meggy leves (Hungarian cherry soup).

It was nice to get out and see some nature.

More nature.

It's hard to tell, but that's a red-winged blackbird.

Arms up!

Michael likes things that beep.

His cute little crooked-jaw look.

Michael's coming to get Mommy.

Cars are fun to roll when Michael can go get them.

Climbing ...

... with a car!

Back in car heaven.

Mmmm ... pasta ...

Why cars in our house ...

... keep turning up in strange places.

Reading time again.

Attacking Mommy hiding behind the tool truck.

Driving under the bridge.

The bridge monster got Michael.

Yay, mess!

An unfortunate fall while walking ...

... gave Michael a big goose egg.

Being one year old isn't all fun.

Michael wants to be in the photo.

A little more insistent.

Daddy decides to goof off, too.

If you can't beat 'em, ...

A dozen tries, one mostly good photo.

Michael loves the pool now.

He's pretty comfortable with wading.

Splish ...

... splash!

Daddy and Michael enjoy the water.

Michael is a pool bum.

A quick thunderstorm left us with three rainbows: ...

... a set of twins and one farther away.

Michael makes the Yahtzee game beep.

Seven and a half teeth now.

Michael can ...

... feed himself ...

... with a little ...

... bit of work.

Discovering that the flexible straw ...

... flicks yogurt smoothie everywhere!

Michael doesn't cry over spilled milk.

He just plays with it.

In his new big-boy booster seat.

The whole hand still fits.

Michael climbs his first stair.

A cute banana-face.

Serious chewing.

Heh heh heh.

How to put on a hat.

Michael plays the put-in-take-out game.

Momentarily distracted by the TV.

That fish must be really smelly.

Congratulations, Hannah! You're educated!

Grandma is fun to read with.

Michael shows his na-na-nose.

Grandma has a nose, too!

Michael is ...

... fourteen months old ...

... and still growing ...

... soooo big!

Up, up, up!

Michael meets Eli the Airedale.

Barbara and Michael.

A little post-lunch, ...

... banana-smeared hair fun.

Diaper peek-a-boo.

Our anniversary gift: redoing the garage (still in progress).

Car art.

Pausing to pose.

Michael wants YOU to pick him up.

Michael's classic "Please, oh please, pick me up!" look.

What board books? He's already on to Plato's Republic.

Our first visit to the pool!

You can't slow him down now.

The reformed sleeper.
