Michael is now nearly 8 months old. He is rolling around, sitting up, grabbing everything in sight, and saying "mom-mom-mom-mom-mom-mom-mom-mom..." We flew home yesterday from Tennessee where we spent Michael's first Christmas with Thomas' family. He got to see his grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, and some cousins too. His grandaddy took him for a ride on the General Jackson. His nan (grandmother) made sure he did well under the Christmas tree. We will be spending New Years moving into a new and bigger apartment in nearby Fairfax Virginia. Thomas has finished his first semester at the Catholic University of America in the Historical Theology PhD Program and will be beginning his second in January. Eileen will soon be caring for her nephew during the day. We hope the two boys will become fast friends.

First time in Nashville
August, 2004. We went home for the first time since Michael was born. He got to meet all four of his great-grandparents, a lot of great-aunts and uncles, and many cousins.

Thomas and I are loving being parents! Michael is more fun every day. He still keeps us up some at night, but we've learned to sleep around him. He responds more to sounds than sights at this point. He seems to love Vivaldi (Maybe I'm reading into that), and He likes being read to, although he prefers books about rabbits over the Summa Theologica, I've discovered. He doesn't cry much and he is starting to smile more, mostly at his mom or his mobile. This weekend we are going to take him to the National Gallery of Art. I especially want him to see the exhibit of Italian Paintings of the 13th - 14th centuries. Hopefully he will enjoy the bright colors and defined features of these medieval paintings. Or he just might sleep through the whole thing.
