21. Giggles (mischa and mr. duck)

dear family. i'm sorry it has been two weeks already since we've posted any new mischa pics. i hope to make it up to you by sharing with you this little moment of silly mischa laughter:



this was at the beginning of a string of lovely visitors -- first Aunt Vicki and Uncle Casey, who came all the way from Madison Wisconsin to meet Misch and who will be bringing him a fun Cousin in the pretty near future (hurray!), then my childhood best friend Lizzy, her husband Mars, and their lovely 10-month-old daughter Jane, who flew in from LA and had a lot of fun teaching Misch about all the fun things he'll soon be able to do. photos from their visits coming soon, i promise...

20. it's a jungle out there...

mischa enjoys hanging out with the animals, both real and stuffed...






that playmat that the animals hang over, seen up close in the first pic and just in the background corner in the 2nd two, is where mischa hit another big milestone yesterday -- ROLLING OVER. he'd been rolling himself from back to side almost nonstop for the last couple days, as if it were his job, (in fact he must have been thinking about this new mobility all night long, since he decided not to really sleep the last couple nights), then finally all of a sudden found himself all the way over on his belly. woo hoo!

of course he didnt quite know what to do with himself once he got there, having never really enjoyed being on his belly in the first place. so the result of all his hard work and two days of all-night strategizing must have resulted in his little baby brain proclaiming disappointedly: "that's IT? THAT'S what rolling over gets me? stuck on my belly with my mouth full of carpet? hm - thanks but no thanks. let's skip ahead to walking."

we'll see if he ever does it again :)
