happy dads day!!

Today is a good day. Why? 1. It's fathers day and I am married to a top notch dad. Ben is so good with miles. He's always up for anything including changing blowout diapers, making up AWESOME baby songs, blowdrying miles hair to spike it when he gets out of the bath, and when he's not working getting up with the little guy between 5:30 and 6:30. 2. Miles just took an hour and fifteen minute nap in his crib. 3. I had powdered sugar donuts and coffee for breakfast. 4. Going to my parents for a cookout tonight. 5. I am blessed to have a great dad of my own. Got to spend the day with him Friday and he is the best man-shopper that i have ever met!

Can life get any better? Here are a few pics from the week.













Oh and the green soothie pacifier in the first pic? It's retired. So excited about it. It was becoming embarrassing that he still was obsessed with the hospital paci. We felt like it was becoming a suri cruise-sucking her thumb-and wearing high heels sort of thing. He's moved on to the big boy blue paci. Yay for miles!!!!

Big boy!

On Monday, Miles went for his 4 month check up. All is well with the little man. He is 16 lbs 4 oz which puts him in the 78th percentile for weight. I can't remember the numbers on his height and head circumference but height was the 85th percentile and head was 54th. We asked the doc about sleep and he talked us through how to teach miles to put himself to sleep. Here is the handout he gave us:



Sorry I can't rotate it since I am blogging from my phone. It is going ok so far. Definitely harder for Ben and I than anything! We have to keep telling ourselves that we are doing him a huge favor to teach him good sleep habits. He got two shots while he screamed bloody murder, and the doc also told us to start giving him cereal! We tried this morning and this is what it looked like:



Also, here is a pic of the big boy waiting on Dr. McGremis:




Miles also had another photo shoot on Tuesday! I have a feeling they'll be super cute but it may be a few weeks until we get them back.
