front yard photo shoot



not bad for killing time before bed right? here are some updates on our little guy.
1. eats stage 1 baby food. LOVES bananas, apples, sweet potatoes, carrots. squash is OKAY. HATES peas.
2. naps are getting much more consistent. he is going on his second 2 hour nap of the day as i type this. yay!
3. i think he is getting another tooth right beside the one on the bottom. not sure about this yet.
4. sits up on his own pretty good. we still sit behind him or put pillows there just in case.
5. favorite toy of the moment: either a $.99 blow up pool toy that looks like nemo or a ball that has spikes. he also loves to tear apart mail and magazines.
6. loves going for rides in the bob. i bet my neighbors think all we do is walk him around in the stroller! linda says he also loves watching kids play basketball when maddi goes to open gym. pretty soon he wont want to just watch!
7. i dont think i posted an update from his 6 mo. appointment. if I did here it is again. 19 lbs. 12 oz. (86th percentile), 27 in. long (78th), and i forget how big his head is but it was in the 60-70 percentile.
8. we went to buy buy baby yesterday and made a stop at greenwood village to see the great-grams. we were one for two. grammy jo was getting her hair done but he was able to brighten grammy bert's day! marcia met us over there too. He loved having people laugh at him for rolling over and watching him play. what a little sweetheart.
9. next weekend ben and i are going on a getaway to nyc for 2 1/2 days. i already know how much i will miss that little stinker. it will be good for ben and i though, glad we didn't go this weekend!! miles is partying with sam one night and grandma becky will stay with him one night. so glad to have family close and eager to help. thanks guys!!

miles + maddi(e)


Miles has got a few friends. Maddie and Maddi. Maddi is Linda's daughter (Miles' babysitter on Tues./Thurs.) and Maddie is their neighbor. They are only in 4th and 5th grades but are so good with him. In another few years they will be on my short list for babysitters. Linda got a few pics of them playing this week. He's sitting up now too and I think he feels like he can see what's going on!

reverend miles


looks like he's ready to preach out of the back of a van. we get kinda crazy in the mornings around here, this is why he has his jammies on, sitting in his high chair, wearing a fedora. probably as i make our usual 10-12 cups of coffee. we just love this kid. we also have way more fun in the mornings now that we are getting 7-9 hrs of sleep. amen to that.
