He [Michael] is such a happy smiley baby!  He especially loves to smile at his mommy!  And I can get some good smiles out of him sometimes too.  But William usually just gets looks of confusion and fear.  :)  William doesn't do anything bad to him though, he just makes lots of loud strange noises.  William is a happy boy too!  He is really into dancing, throwing himself off of his bed, and making big splashes during bath time right now.  He is also very good at saying his prayers!  We tell him that it is time to pray, and he will usually stop whatever he is doing, and get quiet and fold his arms, and sometimes he'll even kneel with us for the entire prayer!  (Depending, of course, on how interesting other things look at that time.)  William is also starting to talk a little.  He can say "hi" and "bye" very well!  He can also say "yes" "no" "Thank you" "I love you" "juice" "bread" and "daddy" pretty well.  Or our brains have become so warped by trying to figure out what his random noises mean, that we think his words are english, when really they are swahili or something.
